This exceptional Sèvres clock garniture is a work of undeniable artistry and craftsmanship. Crafted of exquisite Sèvres porcelain mounted in beautiful cast ormolu, this garniture celebrates classical ideals and Rococo luxury. The annular clock and two urns all boast magnificent enamel paintings by Laurent, with winged cherubs gracing the clock and courting couples and pastoral scenes adorning the urns. The gilt bronze mounting more than matches this incredible artistry, accenting the porcelain with lion mask ring handles, a figural putti finial, and outstanding bases in the Neoclassical style.
Held in the highest esteem among monarchs, emperors, and cardinals since the mid-18th century, Sèvres porcelain pieces such as these are notable for their timeless elegance and superb craftsmanship. The factory began as a modest workshop in the royal chateau of Vincennes in 1740 in an effort to improve the quality and production of French porcelain. The result was some of the most resplendent porcelain ever created.
The urns feature Sèvres marks with date letter "S" and painting on urns are signed "Laurent"
