Beautiful antique fireplace set consisting of a clock and a pair of cassolettes.

Both sides of the clock are decorated with the heads of lions holding handles in their mouths. The cassolettes, too, have masks and lions' feet, and inside their cups there are medallions depicting a man and a woman represented in the manner of the antique. Numbers 9 and 12 are missing on the dial. French work of the mid-19th century.
