(lot of 3) French Sevres style porcelain and bronze mantel garniture set, 19th c., each surmounted by a vasiform finial with floral bouquet, rising on turned-form feet, including: (1) mantel clock, having floral garland and ribbon crest, above dial depicting a reclining cherub, Roman numeral hour markers, time-and-strike movement marked Japy Freres, on integral socle with scalloped trim, lacking pendulum, not currently operational, approx 13"h, 8.5"w, 4.5"d; (pair) matching two-light candelabra garnitures, 11.5"h, 8.5"w, 4"d; 14.5lbs total
CR 1.12.26-As mentioned in the catalog description, the clock is not currently operational, it is lacking a pendulum, the bell and striker are present but the striker appears to have been bent slightly out of place to avoid striking the bell with force, this is typical of antique clocks such as this, the clock is extremely difficult to wind indicating that it may be wound tight, the movement does not respond to winding, as with all of our antique clocks, this piece would likely benefit from a professional adjustment and a thorough cleaning of the movement
