EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning mantel clock retailed by Black, Starr & Frost, dating back to the late 19th century. Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, this timepiece is a true work of art. Standing at a height of 24.8 cm, it commands attention with its ormolu-mounted verde antico marble base. The clock's design is steeped in mythological symbolism, featuring intricate carvings of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea and earthquakes. He stands proudly atop a chariot pulled by two majestic dolphins, representing his dominion over the ocean depths. Every element of this masterpiece speaks volumes about the craftsmanship and creativity that characterized American art during this period. The combination of delicate details and luxurious materials makes it an extraordinary addition to any collection. Capturing both elegance and grandeur in one frame, this print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind such remarkable pieces. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with our perception of time and mythology. Displayed here from a private collection and photographed by eChristies Images for preservation purposes, we are fortunate to have access to such fine examples of artistic expression from America's past through Bridgeman Images' extensive catalog.
