Designs for Fireplace Iron, Mantle Candlesticks and a Clock 19th century

This 19th century anonymous design for a fireplace, mantle candlesticks and a clock, is a detailed line drawing that exemplifies the grandeur and elegance of the era. The drawing showcases a grand fireplace with decorative elements, featuring a central clock flanked by two ornate candlesticks. The clock's design is a highlight, depicting a seated female figure symbolizing time, possibly representing the classical deity Chronos, or perhaps a personification of time. The work, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the detailed and intricate designs favored during the 19th century.
