[edit] Summary
Clock, Ormolu and enamel, about 1855, made by Levy Frères V&A Museum no. 2650-1856
Place - Paris, France
Dimensions - Height 11.75 in Width 12 in
This clock was bought at the Paris Exhibition of 1855 for £19 4s 0d. The dancing putti represent the four seasons. In the mid 19th century France saw the emergence of a neo-rococo style with pronounced curves and a surfeit of ornamental motifs. This new rococo style was however symmetrical and so lost much of the exuberance of the 18th century original.
