French Miniature Garniture Set in Verde Marble
The French miniature garniture set is a wonderful example of horological and decorative artistry dating back to the mid-1800s.
Crafted with beautiful attention to detail, the clock stands at a compact 7.5 inches in height. The arch top case is crafted of Verde marble, known for its deep green hue and elegant veining. Luxurious gilt ormolu, a technique of gilding bronze to achieve a rich gold finish, adorns the clock, further enhancing the opulence of the timepiece. As a part of a garniture set, two matching miniature candelabras accompany the centerpiece, creating a cohesive and harmonious ensemble. The candelabras, crafted of the same verde marble and gilt ormolu, echo the clock’s design, forming a visually striking trio.
The time displays on an elegant convex porcelain Arabic numeral dial with delicate pierced and gilded hands. An 8-day jeweled balance wheel timepiece movement powers this clock, making it an ideal choice for a boudoir or desk clock.
This delightful French clock bears a complete restoration and a one-year warranty.
