Figural mantel clock, Clock and garniture set (3) - Trémolières - Troyes - Marble, Enamel, Glass, Spelter - 1900-1910

This figural mantel clock set from Trémolières in Troyes, dating between 1900 and 1910, is a fine example of early 20th-century French decorative art. Made from materials such as marble, enamel, glass, and spelter (a zinc alloy), these clocks often featured elaborate sculptural forms, blending functionality with artistic expression. Mantel clocks served as central decorative timepieces for salon or living room mantels, and the inclusion of garniture (matching decorative pieces) added symmetry and grandeur. Trémolières was known for high-quality metalwork and artistic craftsmanship, with pieces that reflect the Art Nouveau influence prominent during this period—characterized by flowing lines and nature-inspired motifs. Collectors prize such sets for their aesthetic appeal, material diversity, and representation of French decorative arts at the turn of the century.
