Egyptian Revival Malachite, Marble, Gilt and Patinated Bronze Clock Set
About the Item
This magnificent clock set is signed ‘Le Roy’, most likely for Le Roy et fils. Founded in 1785, Le Roy et fils was an acclaimed French clock-making firm, which was run by Basile Charles Le Roy in partnership with his son, Charles-Louis Le Roy. Le Roy et fils supplied fine clocks and watches to important figures in Europe, including the French Emperor Napoleon I.
The three-piece clock set (comprised of a clock and a pair of candelabra) is designed in a majestic Egyptian Revival style. The clock is topped by a patinated bronze bust of an ancient Egyptian figure, wearing gilt jewelry and headdress. The bust is positioned on a short plinth, which is engraved on its front with a scarab beetle, and signed on its reverse ‘P. Gagac’. The sculpture is placed on a shaped clock body, which has been (recently) veneered in the green gemstone, malachite. The shoulders of the body are mounted with gilt bronze (ormolu) forms with serpentine bodies and falcon heads crowned with sun disks. A circular black marble clock dial, with gilt Roman Numeral hours, is centrally placed on the front of the body, contained within a circular gilt bronze case. The shaped body is set on a rectangular malachite plinth, which is decorated with a gilt bronze winged sun mount and placed on four block feet.
A pair of candelabra flank the clock. Each candelabrum features three gilt bronze leafy candleholders, supported on the heads and outstretched wings of a pair of Egyptian ibis birds. In each, the two ibis stand either side of a stylised palmette motif, and they hold ankh (ancient Egyptian symbols for life) in their talons. The birds stand on Egyptian twin-handled patinated bronze vases, which are parcel gilt. These vases are set on shaped malachite blocks, decorated with gilt bronze falcon head snake mounts. The blocks are placed on rectangular malachite bases, which are mounted with gilt bronze winged sun motifs.

Located in London, GB
This clock set is designed in the Egyptian Revival style, which was in vogue in Europe and America in the 19th century. The fashion was kick-started by Emperor Napoleon I’s campaign in Egypt in 1798-1799. This led to the publication of ‘Le Description de l’Égypte’ (The Description of Egypt) in 1809 (and a second edition in 1830), which documented various aspects of Egyptian culture, including the pyramids, antiquities, ancient and modern buildings, Egyptian clothing...

Antique Marble, Patinated and Gilt Bronze Clock Set by Gervais
By Ferdinand Gervais
Located in London, GB
This three-piece set—composed of a clock and a pair of flanking candelabra—is a truly unique and delightful piece of decorative art.
The clock is modelled in the image of an 18th century sedan chair – that is, a covered chair sat in by a member of the social elite, which was carried on poles by two people. This chair-shaped clock case is crafted from gilt bronze (ormolu) and decorated with festoons and a flower finial. At its centre, there is a circular white enamel dial, which features Arabic Numbers, colorful swag paintings, and the manufacturer’s name, 'Fd Gervais / Ft du Bronzes / A Paris'. The lower part of the case is glazed, allowing one to see the clock’s sun-burst pendulum. Like a sedan chair, the clock case is carried by two patinated bronze putti...
