Luton Hoo - Bedrooms
Lot 168:
Description
A three-piece gilt metal mantel garniture, comprising a central table clock and a pair of five-light candelabra. The ensemble is executed in an ornate Rococo-inspired revival style featuring elaborate scrolling and shell motifs. The clock face displays Roman numerals and is marked „QUARTZ,“ indicating a modern movement. The gilt metal casing is consistent with designs often associated with Italian Imperial foundries and cases housing German Hermle movements, though this example features a modern quartz movement. The set is likely dating to the mid-20th century or later.
Condition report:
The set appears in good visual condition, showing a consistent golden finish with minor surface wear commensurate with age and handling. No obvious significant damage, apparent repairs, or losses observed. The quartz movement is presumed to be in working order, but functionality is not guaranteed.
