Occasionally in my trade I come across pieces
that will make your heart skip a beat,
this set is definately no exemption.
Grand & Magestic are the best words used to describe this
"Antique French Gilt Bronze Garniture Set"
Starting price is not an indication of market value.
Today I offer an exclusive three piece
gilt bronze garniture clock set.
It is called "The Golden Sun" and was produced
by P. Lagache in France.
The clock and candelabras are made from the finest bronze
finished in gold gilt with surpurb results and can be dated to
the early 1900's or earlier.
Be sure to click on the photos to enlarge them to have a closer
look at the fine detailing and read the measurements below as
this set is larger then the photos portray.
On the enamelled dial it reads:
AV SOLEIL D'OR
P. LAGACHE
LILLE
which translates in english to:
THE GOLDEN SUN
P. LAGACHE
LILLE
The enamelled dial is in good condition although there is a
little damage between the four and five, and also around the
key hole which is typical of the enamelled dials. It is protected
by its original convex glass and hinged door.
The clock is enhanced by the pair of monumental candelabras
which are truely a first quality work of art, large enough to
have an impact in any room.
The craftsmanship that has been conducted on this lovely set
has been carried out with precise precision, leaving no detail
untouched.
Imagine the granduer this set will repel in your home...
