Charming set of pink marble and brass mantel decorations, including a portico clock accompanied by two 'cassolettes.' A cassolette is a small ornamental vase or container, often used for perfumes or potpourri. The clock features a polychrome enameled porcelain dial adorned with flower decorations and is topped with a classical-style vase. The ornate guirlandes and the pendulum with a basket design add to its elegance. It works and chimes on the hour and half-hour. Even if you don't have a fireplace, this refined set will beautifully adorn a console or a chest of drawers.
