The mantel clock of architectural form, with blue painted porcelain panels and dial, in the Sevres style, the movement detailed 'G. F. 148' and striking on a bell; together with a pair of three light candelabra en suite
Clock, 36cm high; candelabra, 38cm high
Condition report:
As can be seen from the online photograph the one candelabra arms are need to be straightened and currently the upper half is not sitting vertically. The two scroll branches making up the side arms are loose and require refixing to the base of the central shaft.
The other candelabra is missing a liner to the inside of the candle nozzle (as can be seen the far left of the photograph).
The toupie feet of both candelabra are stamped 'G.G'
There is no winding key present with the lot.
There is no guarantee of the working order of the clock movement.
Overall, the gilding is bright. Some minor casting flaws in the odd place, minor spots of tarnishing, scuffs and scratches, together with some wax residue in areas commensurate with age and use.
Dial with no glass.
Porcelain mounts in good order. The gilding to the decoration of the centre of dial is slight rubbed, also visible in the photograph.
