Watch 1830 - 1840

Frederick Courvoisier's "Watch," a silver pocket watch with an intricate floral design, was created between 1830 and 1840. The watch is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY. This small, delicately crafted piece exemplifies the craftsmanship of the 19th century and serves as a reminder of the importance of timekeeping during that era. The ornate floral patterns engraved on the surface of the watch likely symbolize beauty and nature, themes popular in 19th-century decorative art.
