Superb fireplace set, in honey onyx contrasted with brown onyx plates and blue turquin marble, including a clock and two cassolettes.
The rectangular clock stamped by the watchmaker Alexandre Gapaillard, founder of the Grand Comptoir National d’Horlogerie in 1850 in Rennes.
The golden dial is graduated in Arabic numerals at the hours.
The facade is embellished with two gilt bronze motifs of Egyptian women carrying an offering.
This timepiece features a bronze sculpture representing a draped woman holding a parrot in her left hand.
The mechanical pendulum movement bears the n° 593.
The rectangular cassolettes are each topped with a cavity to accommodate a square candlestick or small objects.
Each piece in this set rests on bronze ball feet.
The alliance of onyx, marble and bronze, as well as its ornamentations, make this fireplace set a work faithful to the Art Deco movement.
