Japy Freres & Cie yellow marble garniture, ca. 1870.  Who doesn’t love a set of candelabras with their large (massive?) figural clock?  This sculpture by Louis-Auguste Moreau of a girl picking pears from a tree is 19 inches high, on top of the clock base of 7.5 inches.  The matching vase candelabras are 26 inches high on small marble bases. There is a porcelain dial, Breguet hands, and a beveled flat glass in a heavy brass bezel, with brass ornaments surrounding on ornate brass feet.  The statue has been repainted, or at least touched up with gold accents, I believe.  The same is true for the candelabra.  Nonetheless, they all look good with a lacquered finish.  The pendule de Paris is marked Japy Freres & Cie; it is running and striking, but the hammer needs to be reattached to the arm with a bit of super glue.  The statue will be detached from the clock for shipping, reassembly is not difficult.  $200-$400.
