Antique French Chinoiserie Ormolu and Porcelain Three-Piece Clock Graniture

Description

A very fine antique French chinoiserie, doré bronze, and Imari porcelain three-piece clock graniture. The porcelain is marvelously hand-painted with intricately designed flowers, peaches, birds, and clouds. With a magnificent color scheme which includes orange, white, blue, and 24-karat gilt decoration between and around all the flowers and wildlife. The foo dog, vines and leaves, and dragons could be found throughout the magnificently cast and hand-chased ormolu candlesticks, base and handles. Each portion of the ormolu was cast in France while the porcelain was made in Japan and exported to France to be mounted onto the ormolu. The center piece clock is 27.5 in. in height, 15 in. in width, and 9 in. in diameter. The pair of original candelabras are 28.5 in. in height with a 9 in. base.
