EDITORS COMMENTS
This close-up print captures the exquisite beauty of a double-dialed hanging clock designed by Hector Guimard. Made of gilt-bronze, this stunning piece stands at a height of 48.3 cm and showcases Guimard's mastery in decorative techniques. The bronze-gilt clock face is the centerpiece, adorned with intricate numerals that elegantly mark the passage of time. Its art nouveau style reflects the progressive design movement prevalent in early 20th century Europe. Positioned against a studio backdrop, this timeless timepiece exudes an air of sophistication and refinement. The gilded details catch the light, adding depth to its already captivating presence. Though devoid of any human presence, this photograph transports us to another era - perhaps within the bustling underground railways or subways of London or Paris. It evokes thoughts of locomotion and transportation as we imagine this ornate clock gracing a station platform or railway carriage. Guimard's design seamlessly blends form and function, showcasing his contribution to applied art and horology. This print serves as a testament to his artistic vision and craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. Whether appreciated for its historical significance or admired for its aesthetic appeal, this double-dialed hanging clock invites us into a world where elegance meets precision in perfect harmony.
