french art nouveau mantel clock

This Art Nouveau mantel clock is set in a rich dark mahogany case and features an 8 day movement, enamelled dial and strikes on the hour and half hour. Thought to date back to the late 1800s/early 1900s, it is a fantastic example of French clockmaking of the period.
Art Nouveau became the label that was given to the modernist movement that erupted between 1890-1914. It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact moment or location of its establishment, because there were several similar movements taking place all over Europe at the time. But Art Nouveau prevailed. Art Nouveau artists drew inspiration from organic and geometric forms, creating elegant and flowing designs with a distinct emphasis on contours, filled in with muted tones. The hype surrounding Japanese prints at that time, especially its floral and curved patterns, formed another very important influence. Art Nouveau designs were applied to a wide range of disciplines, from graphic arts to furniture, interior decoration, architecture and the fine arts.
