Garrison of fireplace of the XIX century, composed of a clock and two ornamental cups. The three pieces have a marbled green marble body, combined with gilded bronze appliqués. The bases of the pieces follow an architectural design of classical inspiration, with a rectilinear base with the central area advanced in plan, staggered upper area on which the body rests. Each of its forms is highlighted by the chiseled bronze appliques, details that are not only ornamental, but also affect the differentiation of each of the parts that make up the structure. This is an effect sought after in all classical-based styles, and has its origin in the classical ideal of harmony and balance of the parts among themselves and with respect to the whole. In the case of the watch, the dial is shown with a metallic center and Roman numerals in black. Each of the elements that make up the lining are topped with a large cup of clear classical inspiration.
