This nineteenth-century Louis XVI revival clock set consists of a central urn-form clock and two matching two-light candelabra, made from gilt bronze and green marble with white enamel components. The ensemble displays gilt gold and green colouring, featuring putti figures, acanthus leaves, garland swags, an urn-form casing, and circular bases with patterned ormolu mounts, ball feet, and an acorn finial atop the clock lid. The central clock measures 45 cm high, 20 cm wide, and 16 cm deep. Placed upon a mantelpiece in a reception room, study, or drawing room today, this clock set serves as a decorative focal point. The central timepiece shows a white enamel dial with black numerals and winding holes, flanked by cherubic figures supporting the main body, while the matching candelabra display twin candle holders supported by matching putti figures mounted on circular pedestals.

FAQs

The Louis XVI style in horology is characterised by Neoclassical architectural symmetry, geometric proportions, and motifs such as laurel wreaths, swags, acanthus leaves, and cherub or putti figures.

These clock sets traditionally combine gilt bronze, known as ormolu, with carved marble bases, enamelled dial faces, and steel or brass mechanical clock movements.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces display precise hand-chasing on metalwork, heavy solid marble bases, hand-painted enamel dials with twin winding holes, and French movement maker stamps on the backplate.

A clock set is conventionally arranged on a central mantelpiece or sideboard top, positioning the main timepiece in the middle flanked symmetrically by the matching candelabra.

Dust the gilded bronze surfaces gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding liquid polishes or abrasives that strip original gilding, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every five years.
