Clock 1810 - 1835

This French clock, created by Chapsal l'ainé between 1810 and 1835, is a striking example of the Neoclassical style popular in the early 19th century. The clock features a sculpted female figure, likely representing Time, standing next to a decorative clock face adorned with floral motifs. The overall design showcases a preference for classical themes and a balanced, symmetrical composition, reflecting the artistic ideals of the era. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York houses this intricate and beautifully crafted timepiece.
