Overview
Chinese hard-paste porcelain, gilt bronze and enameled metal unite this clock with two flanking vases. Cleveland relates the chased mounts’ lion masks, foliage and pilasters to the neoclassical Greek taste that gained ground in the 1760s and 1770s.
Coordinated garnitures could ornament a mantelpiece or large furniture, displaying shared materials across separate objects. This set does not document a particular original room. Horace Wood Brock gave the ensemble to Cleveland in 2020; earlier ownership is unrecorded here.
