EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning clock from the late 19th century. Created by Tiffany & Company, this exquisite piece of art is made of marble and bronze, measuring 46x51.1x19.7 cm. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA, it is a true testament to American craftsmanship. The clock forms part of a mantel set that was marketed by Tiffany & Co. around 1885 and includes two decorative obelisks alongside it. The intricate design features ornamental hieroglyphs and obelisks inspired by ancient Egyptian culture, adding an air of mystique to this timepiece. With its meticulously decorated surface adorned with hieroglyphics and sphinxes, this clock stands as a remarkable example of metalwork at its finest. Its ornate details make it an eye-catching centerpiece for any mantlepiece or display area. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to the elegance and grandeur of the late 19th century America. The combination of marble and bronze creates a harmonious blend between classical elements and contemporary design. This extraordinary clock represents not only the artistic vision but also the technical skill employed during that era in creating such masterpieces. It serves as a reminder that beauty can be found even within everyday objects like clocks when they are crafted with passion and creativity.
