This charming late 19th Century French clock set takes inspiration from a range of styles and periods, and is beautiful in its final execution. It consists of a central clock and two flanking candelabra: the central clock is rectangular in shape and comprises four champleve enamel faces framed by ormolu columns at each corner, with an ormolu mounted champleve enamel turret above, and set on an ormolu plinth. The champleve enamel is decorated with floral motifs, and set on a turquoise ground. The dial features black Roman numerals set within circular ormolu plaques on a champleve enamel ground, within an ormolu border. The candelabra are decorated similarly, and contain four lights with circular drip pans attached to ornate ormolu branch supports.
