Anotations

Scope note:

Sets of decorations for the tops of fireplace mantels usually made up of a clock and two matching vases. First popularized in 18th century France and common in the United States and Britain during the 19th century; out of fashion by early 20th century. For matching sets of vases, use "garnitures (vases)."
