A French Louis XVI style ormolu and Sevres type bleu celeste porcelain inset mantel clock garniture, 19th century, the 10cm porcelain dial applied with Roman numerals, enclosing a Japy Freres two train movement striking on a saucer bell, flanked by two cast cherubs and gilt metal mounts, raised upon a gilt wood plinth, 50cm high, accompanied by a pair of associated candlesticks and a pair of urns (5) clock height 49cm

More Information

Both barrels wind, however clock movement doesn't appear to run and will need some attention.
General tarnishing to the gilt metal with some rubbing loss to the painted gilt detail.
One candlestick appears to have had some compression to the side, minor chip to the clock plinth base.
Overall the clock and garniture would benefit from a clean.
