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.
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.

A clock garniture is a decorative set originating in 18th-century France, consisting of a central mantel clock flanked by two matching decorative pieces, most commonly candelabra, urns, or side vases.

These sets are predominantly constructed from gilded bronze, known as ormolu, combined with white marble, alabaster, or onyx bases, featuring enamelled porcelain dials and precision mechanical clock movements.

Authentic pieces feature mercury-gilded bronze with fine hand-chased detailing, heavy marble or bronze bases, French maker stamps or numbers on the movement backplate, and classical or rococo stylistic elements.

Place the three-piece set symmetrically atop a fireplace mantelpiece, credenza, or grand sideboard to create a formal focal point that contrasts with modern minimalist backgrounds.

Dust the set regularly with a soft dry cloth or soft-bristled brush, avoiding water, abrasive cleaners, or chemical polishes which can strip the delicate gilding and damage porous marble surfaces.
