Very Large Art Nouveau Goldscheider Figural Clock
Art Nouveau Goldscheider Pottery Figural Clock.
It embodies the Art Nouveau style, characterized by its organic forms and allegorical figures, and dates back to the early 20th century, specifically around 1900-1910. Friedrich Goldscheider's manufactory in Vienna, Austria, was famous for its terracotta, bronze, and porcelain art pieces, including highly decorative clocks and lamps.
The clock features two classical-style nude figures flanking the clock face. The standing male figure on the left is partially draped and looks down toward the seated female figure on the right. She is resting her head on her hand and leaning towards him. The two figures are connected by a heavy, textured vertical garland. The entire piece is cast in a single material with a uniform with a glossy white finish.
