Important Gilt Bronze And Martin Varnish Fireplace Trim, Louis XV Style - Mid-19th Century

Sumptuous Louis XV style mantelpiece set, with floral decoration, in gilded bronze and lacquered wood with Martin varnish. This is made up of a large clock and two large five-armed candelabra. The very decorative clock has beautiful ornamentation in gilded bronze forming animated foliage, and a wooden case painted with rich floral decorations and embellished with Martin varnish. Several rural scenes surround the clock. They represent musical instruments (flute, tambourine, bagpipes…) and are accompanied by ribbons and flowers. In the lower part, a more important decoration depicts romantic characters accompanied by farm animals, in the pure Louis XV style. In addition, the gilded bronze dial has a white enamel in the center protected by a domed glass. Finally, this trim also consists of two large candlesticks with five arms of light in gilded bronze. Their branches are turbulent and leafy. The candle holders are reminiscent of the petals of a flower. Each of the candelabra is decorated at its top with a gilt bronze candle snuffer resembling buds. The wooden barrels painted with flowers are also decorated with bronze ornaments. The bases, also in bronze, are carved with volutes. Flamboyant and majestic, this trim will bring sparkle and refinement to your interior. ******** Period: Mid-nineteenth Excellent condition. Complete movement and supplied with its key.
