Fine Ormolu and Sevres Porcelain Antique French Clock Set

19th century
Description

~ French - Circa 1870 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning antique French ormolu clock set mounted with exquisite Sèvres style porcelain with Rose Pompadour pink ground. Panels to the centre of the dial and the urns feature finely painted scenes of a young couple in a tranquil country landscape. The curved panels to the sides are intricately decorated with motifs of the arts, flowers and birds.

Dial is formed as part of the front porcelain panel with gold letters applied to white reserves with turquoise 'jewel' half-hour markers. Porcelain is very delicately painted with over-glaze gilt decoration with classical scrolls, folliage and ribbons. The finely gilded bronze is in lovely original condition, crisply modelled and finely finished. To the top is a handled urn decorated with flowers. The clock is modelled in the round with a glazed rear door to allow the movement to be seen. The rear of the urns are also decorated with tranquil river scenes.

The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. We have a video of the clock running, please ask and we will send you a link.

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with some slight wear to the high spots and to the rear. There is some slight discolouration and marks. The porcelain is in excellent condition with no damage. There is some wear to the over-glaze gilt decoration and the majority of the applied turquoise 'jewels' are missing.

Complete with original pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A French clock garniture typically comprises a central mantel clock flanked by a matching pair of decorative urns or cassolettes, popularised during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

These sets feature cast gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts paired with hand-painted soft-paste or hard-paste porcelain panels, often decorated with romantic figures or floral motifs.

Authentic pieces display crisp mercury gilding, precise hand-painted enamelling, historic movement maker stamps on the back plate, and period-correct assembly screws.

Place the garniture centrally along a marble fireplace mantelpiece or atop a grand sideboard to create a balanced focal point in classical or eclectic rooms.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical cleaners that strip the gilt finish, and consult a professional horologist for movement servicing.
