Ormulu Mounted Japanese Imari Porcelain Clock Set, 19th Century

Item Number: 5454

This exquisite three-piece set consists of a large central mantel clock and a pair of matching candelabras. The Imari wear features a white background highlighted with foliage and abstract work in striking reds, blues, and golds. The mantel clock is especially unique, usually seen topped with a gilt bronze element, but in this case a red Japanese figure is placed. The bronze d'ore work is finely detailed with classic Louis XV motifs. The ribbon work, foliage, and movement in the pieces are simply a few examples. The central vase is of course the most ornate, featuring the clock in the mid section, and a pair of putti at the base keeping the ribbon work taught. The gorgeous details of the bronze d’ore candelabras, specifically the cups and bobeches, are equally impressive. Clock: 17" wide x 12" deep x 27" tall Candelabra: 11 1/2" diameter x 26" tall

19th Century Louis XVI Bronze D’Ore Chandelier

Item Number: 6254

This elaborate French Louis XVI bronze d'ore chandelier dates back to the early 19th century. The casting is immaculate, starting with the acanthus leaves adorning the crown and top of the stem, and venturing down towards the three cherubs playing horns at the center. Imagining these golden cherubs reflected in the original candle light gives the chandelier a truly magical feeling. The cups and bobeches are filled with detail. The leafy bunch of grapes as a finial at the bottom is likely an ode to bacchus, the god of wine. The 32 lights combined with the themes of wine and music produce a unique and detailed piece.
