Table clock - Art Nouveau Alloy - 1850-1900

Splendid and majestic mantel clock triptych (garniture de cheminée) in perfect Art Nouveau style, dating from the late 19th century (circa 1890). The central element consists of a sumptuous clock surmounted by the famous sculpture entitled "Charmeuse" (The Enchantress), signed by the renowned French sculptor Émile Guillemin (1841-1907). The figure represents a young woman reclining gracefully, interacting with a small bird. The triptych is completed by two large coordinated ornamental vases (amphorae), finely decorated with floral motifs coherent with the clock. Characteristics and Materials: • Sculptures: Made in régule with a precious dual finish: parts in beautiful antique gilding and clothing with dark patinas in contrast that highlight the details. • Bases: Solid precious marble boldly veined, adorned with feet and geometric decorations in gold metal. • Dial: White enamel with Arabic numerals, enriched by delicate hand-painted flower garlands. Bears the distributor’s signature of the period: "Herviant a Reims". State of Preservation and Functioning: The entire set is presented in excellent aesthetic condition, with the normal and captivating patina of time attesting to its authenticity. From a mechanical point of view, the clock is fully functional and running. The striking is regular and chimes on the hours and half-hours. Complete with its original accessories: the pendulum and the winding key.
