MONTMARTRE 21 / PARIS and flanked by two inset porcelain plaques each depicting a cherub playing a musical instrument, set within a case surmounted by a classically draped maiden playing a lyre and a putto playing horns, raised on a floral and foliate scroll cast base centered by a musical trophy; together with two six-light candelabra each in the form of a putto supporting floriform candle arms, raised on a Sevres style porcelain column over scroll feet. Height of candelabra 26 1/2 inches. Property from the Drake Tower Apartments, Chicago, Illinois Note: this set is possibly associated. Clock in overall good condition. Porcelains intact without cracks or losses, case likewise intact, having a fairly even dirty patina. Richond time and strike works look mostly intact but lacking bell, pendulum and key. Unsure if clock works. Candelabra both also mostly intact. One with six matching bobeches, the other lacking a candle arm and having only two mismatched bobeches.
