Garnitures (from the French garnir, meaning “to garnish” or decorate) are sets of decorative objects, typically placed on mantelpieces, commodes, or console tables, and often flanking a central clock. The tradition began in the 18th century and continued strongly into the Empire and later Victorian periods.
