Gilt Bronze Clock with Arab Prince and Princess made for the Orientalist market

About the Item

An Impressive and very large French Gilt Dore Bronze Clock with Arab Prince and Princess made for the Oriental Market. With the European market entranced with all the oriental fantasy that their homes would allow, artists and artisans turned to the source for additional sales. Thus, items believed to appeal to the fantasy were made for export. Clocks of all forms were great favorites. As the industrial revolution gathered steam (pun intended) and advances in the industry gave birth to more accurate clocks combined with more and more designs; the 19th century can be said to be the golden age of timekeeping.
