Louis XV style garnished table clock; France, Napoleon III period, third quarter of the nineteenth century. Chiseled, gilded and burnished bronze with porcelain enamel dial. Preserves pendulum. Presents loss of a lighter, restitution of a lighter and glass of later period. Signed on the dial: "Balthazard à Paris" and stamped on the mechanism: "Medaille d'argent; Vincenti & CIE". Measurements: 53.5 x 28.5 x 26 cm; 57.5 x 41.5 x 20 cm (clock). Garrison formed by two four-light candelabra and a table clock, with the three pieces that form the set entirely made of gilded bronze. It is a harness of historicist design, classically inspired, which harmoniously combines elements of different classicist periods: baroque, renaissance, neoclassicism and even Empire, in a fanciful and decorative mixture typical of the historicist context. The candelabra are made up of a superposition of elements, starting from a base formed by vegetal ornaments that intertwine, thus creating a very dynamic conception of the composition. Above it we see a body in which stands out for the plant-inspired design of the shaft. Finally, in each one of the candelabras, there is a vegetal element on which the body of lights rises, also based on stylized acanthus leaves. The lighters that finish them off are cylindrical, flower-shaped since they are decorated with motifs in relief that resemble petals and cover their entire surface. The clock follows a similar style, with a similar base. The case of the watch, with Roman numerals in cobalt blue on which Arabic numerals are arranged in relation to the minutes, the gold-colored openwork hands follow the ornamental line of the piece. This type of pieces reached great popularity during the 19th century, becoming an object of luxury and social significance. Destined to the upper zone of the chimneys, these sets were usually located in the visitors' room, so that their quality and good taste distinguished the taste of their owner. Preserves pendulum. Presents loss of a lighter, restitution of a lighter and glass of later period.
