Catalog Description:

C.1880, French, 3-Piece Empire Mantel set in good condition. This is a magnificent set, and certainly unusual to find with the candelabra intact. Each candelabrum and the basic case of the clock are bronze, and the ormolu mounts are bright gold - a pleasant contrast. The shortcoming on this clock is the dial which was repainted around 25 years ago before professional replacements were available. It looks fine from 3 feet away but the blemishes show when you get close. The round bell strike movement is running, but would benefit from service. Height 21" Reserve $3000
