French Napoleon III onyx and ormolu mantel clock garniture
Fine French Napoleon III green onyx and ormolu three-piece clock garniture, c.1890. The architectural portico case is mounted with gilt bronze ornament and surmounted by a classical female mask. The clock has a painted enamel dial, visible mercury-style pendulum, and an eight-day French movement striking on a coiled gong. Complete with matching pair of covered onyx and ormolu urns.
Style: The clock is in the Louis XVI Revival / Napoleon III style, with four polished onyx columns supporting the case.
Material: Made from green banded onyx (often called Algerian or Mexican onyx in the antiques trade) with gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts.
Movement: It has a French eight-day movement with a visible mercury-style pendulum and coiled gong strike, indicating it strikes.
Dial: White enamel dial with hand-painted floral garlands and ornate gilt hands, typical of quality French clocks from the late 19th century.
Garniture: The matching pair of covered urns (cassolettes) means this is a three-piece clock garniture, which is more desirable than the clock alone.
Decoration: The gilt female mask at the top is another common decorative feature of French mantel clocks from this period

Antique Burr Walnut Marquetry Pembroke Table
A stunning antique burr walnut Pembroke table, beautifully crafted with an exceptionally figured burr walnut veneered top. The rich, highly decorative grain is complemented by delicate marquetry inlay and fine floral ornamentation, giving the table a particularly elegant and sophisticated appearance.
The oval drop-leaf top opens to provide a generous dining or display surface, whilst allowing the table to remain relatively compact when closed. It stands on beautifully turned and shaped supports with elegant cabriole legs, united by a central stretcher and finished with attractive brass castors.
A wonderful example of traditional English furniture, combining superb craftsmanship, highly figured walnut and decorative inlaid detail. This would make an impressive addition to a period home, country house, or collection of fine antique furniture.
Dimensions:
• Diameter when fully open: 100 cm
• Height: 65 cm
A very attractive and decorative antique table, with the wonderful burr walnut figuring being a particular feature.
