Mid-19th Century French Japy Frères Black Marble Clock Garniture Set France, c.1850 A substantial and decorative three-piece clock garniture set by Japy Frères, dating to the mid-19th century. The central clock is housed in a very heavy architectural case of black marble with contrasting red and ochre breccia marble inlay. Classical in form, the case features turned columns, roundels, and a glazed front panel revealing the original gridiron pendulum with glass rods. The white enamel dial has Arabic numerals and finely pierced hands, set within a brass bezel. The eight-day movement is stamped Japy Frères and numbered, striking on a bell on the hour and half-hour. The backplate shows typical Japy quality, and the mechanism is currently running, though sold without guarantee. The set is completed by a pair of matching garniture sidepieces, each with conforming marble decoration and circular tazza tops. Clock dimensions: Height: 47 cm Width: 38 cm Depth: 15 cm Garniture dimensions (each): Height: 26 cm Width: 19 cm Depth: 19 cm Condition: Good overall condition. One garniture has an old repaired break, as visible in the photographs. Minor surface wear and small chips commensurate with age. Movement functioning in showroom but sold as unguaranteed.
