Clock 1800 - 1815

This French mantel clock, crafted by Bouchet between 1800 and 1815, is a testament to the artistic trends of the Neoclassical era. The clock features a delicate, sculpted design with allegorical figures atop a base adorned with classical motifs and resting on lion paw feet. The clock's design draws inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman art, reflecting the period's fascination with classical aesthetics. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of decorative arts during the early 19th century.
