Antique Marble Portico Clock Garniture

19th century
Description

This is an elegant, good quality white marble Portico clock with matching candelabra dating from around 1890. The clock has a hand painted enamel dial with arabic numerals and twin barelled movement striking on a bell on the hour and half hour. The clock face, surmounted by gilt bronze birds and urn finials is supported on Corinthian capped columns on a rectangular plinth with brass beaded detail. There are matching gilt metal and white marble double branch candelabra. The set is of greater scale than some and presents as a very smart and impressive garniture. The clock measures 46 cms high and the matching candelabra are 35 cms high.

This is in good running order and keeps good time. It has its original key and requires winding once a week.

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 portico clock garniture is a three-piece decorative set originating in eighteenth-century France, featuring a central clock framed by architectural columns and flanked by matching sidepieces such as candelabra or urns.

These sets typically feature carved white or coloured marble bases paired with cast gilt bronze or ormolu mounts, enamel dials, and mechanical brass movements.

Authentic period pieces exhibit detailed hand-chased metal mounts, mercury gilding signatures, cast maker marks on the clock movement, and solid natural marble components rather than synthetic resin composites.

Position the central clock symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece or console table with the matching candelabra placed evenly on either side to create a balanced focal point.

Clean marble surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoid liquid polishes on gilt bronze to prevent stripping patination, and have the internal mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every few years.
