Antique silver and enamel Viennese table clock
Austrian, Late 19th Century

This 19th century Austrian table clock is crafted in silver and the complex champleve enamel technique. The base of the clock is a semi-spherical dome inlaid with enamel panels of classical figures and landscapes. The central support for the clock is a silver full-length figure of a woman standing on the base, who holds her skirt in one hand and a basket of flowers on her head in the other hand. Attached to the top of the flowers is the ovular clock dial, decorated to the reverse with a classical scene of a man and woman with a cupid and to the face with polychrome foliate motifs, all in champleve enamel. The clock dial has Roman numerals within roundels, and a hinged silver mounted frame to the front. -
