Discover the timeless beauty of this exquisite 3-piece French Louis XV clock and candelabra set, crafted in bronze and dating from the 1840s to 1860s.

Description:
Masterful Craftsmanship:
This set includes a magnificently detailed clock and two matching candelabras, all designed in the opulent Louis XV style. The clock is richly adorned with cherubic figures, each delicately holding a bird and a flower, adding an enchanting and whimsical touch. The intricate decorations cover every surface, making this clock a true centerpiece that commands attention.
Floral and Ornate Detailing:
The top of the clock is crowned with a beautifully sculpted vase, from which two branches of flowers elegantly cascade down the sides. The ornate legs of the clock mirror those of the accompanying candelabras, creating a harmonious and cohesive design.
Elegant Candelabras:
The set is complemented by two striking candelabras, each featuring a child figure holding the seven-arm candelabra on their head. These candelabras are designed to hold seven candles each, providing a stately and ambient light source. They retain their original purpose as candle holders and have not been converted to electric.
Preserved Gold Leaf Finish:
The entire set has been carefully cleaned to preserve the original gold leaf finish, which enhances the detailed artistry and adds a luxurious gleam. This careful preservation ensures that the set remains as captivating today as it was nearly two centuries ago.
Historical Integrity:
While the set is in good working order, minor wear consistent with its age is present, adding to its authenticity and historical charm. Please refer to the second picture to view the set in its pre-cleaned state.
