Rare Art Nouveau Three-Piece Spelter Mantle Garniture

A rare and elegant Art Nouveau three-piece mantel garniture in spelter, comprising a central clock and a pair of matching candelabra. The design beautifully illustrates the sinuous whiplash lines characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement, with flowing, organic forms that lend the ensemble a dynamic sculptural presence.

Each candelabrum is adorned with a stylised female figure, gracefully integrated into the structure, supporting three candle arms. The central clock echoes these fluid lines, enhanced by a subtle two-tone patina that highlights its sinuous forms. The dial is enamelled with Roman numerals, adding to its period charm. The clock is currently not in working order and would benefit from servicing. The overall condition is good, with a consistent patina to the spelter and light wear in keeping with age. While the three elements form a harmonious ensemble, they may not have originally been conceived as a set.

A striking decorative set, ideal for a mantelpiece or console, offering a refined glimpse into the artistic innovation of the early 20th century.
