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.

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.

This 1860 Victorian French porcelain and gilded metal clock garniture comprises a central mantel clock accompanied by two matching five-branch candelabra in a French Rococo Revival style. The ensemble uses cobalt blue and gold porcelain combined with gilded metal mountings, showing white glaze, hand-painted clock dial faces, original hands, and floral scrollwork motifs. The central clock stands 40 cm high, 18 cm wide, and 12.5 cm deep, topped by a pineapple finial and supported by putti figures above an acanthus-decorated rectangular base. Placed on a mantelpiece or sideboard in a formal living room or dining area, the set provides a striking decorative centrepiece. The candelabra feature multi-branch floral tops with leaf decorations atop turned porcelain columns and square bases. The clock incorporates an eight-day movement with an interior bell mechanism. The overall construction highlights ornate mounts, moulded porcelain segments, and intricate gilded detailing throughout all three matching pieces.

FAQs

A clock garniture is a coordinated decorative set originating in 18th and 19th-century France, comprising a central mantel clock flanked by two matching ornamental pieces, such as candelabra or vases.

These sets typically feature hand-painted hard-paste porcelain components combined with gilt bronze or cast metal mounts, housing a mechanical brass clock movement.

Authentic period examples generally display heavy cast metal mounts with visible hand-chasing, fine hand-painted porcelain decoration, and French eight-day mechanical movements stamped with maker marks.

A garniture is traditionally styled symmetrically along a central fireplace mantelpiece, a substantial hallway console table, or a dining room sideboard to serve as a focal point.

Dust surfaces gently using a dry microfibre cloth or soft brush, avoiding chemical solvents or abrasive polishes on gilded metal, and have the mechanical movement serviced periodically by a professional horologist.
