Ancient Luxury Tall Case Clock
Made in France the nineteenth century and imitaing the distinctive beautiful style of the Regency period, this large and beautifully cast and delineated chandelier is crafted from gilt-bronze, with four branches and mounts for lighting elements.
The chandelier is topped by a cast leaf-like corona, or crown, above a baluster which is decorated with four dolphins. This is set against a fluted neck and sheathed amid palm fronds, rocailles and putti busts.
It is not wired, yet it issues forth four detachable scrolling acanthus arms, ending in circular drip plates in a foliate motif. Demonstrating the splendour affored by the RĂ©gence style, it makes an outstanding and beautiful interior piece for those looking for a suitable touch of French luxury and class.
