Impressive large wall clock made of glazed ceramic, inspired by the visual universe of alphonse mucha. The female figure with an introspective gaze, framed between waving hair and modernist ornaments, evokes the poetic aesthetics of the art nouveau revival of the 60s-70s. Unique decorative piece, ideal for artistic design spaces.
the muse of silent look is much more than a wall clock: it is a sculptural piece that captures the soul of an era of artistic splendor.
made in glazed ceramic towards the end of the 60s or beginning of the 70s, this work pays tribute to the aesthetics of alphonse mucha, undisputed master of art nouveau. The female figure, with a serene profile and introspective gaze, seems to emerge from silence, wrapped in waving hair that floats like threads of a suspended dream.
its contained, almost mystical expression connects with the viewer from a deep calm.
the frame combines imitation walnut root, ocher split leather and an elegant satin gold molding, hugging the ceramic as if protecting a forgotten reliquary. The clock mechanism, kienzle quartz (west germany), is discreetly integrated, reminding us that time, here, is not measured: it is contemplated.
the composition evokes the idea of the eternal muse, suspended between floral mists and veiled lights, in a space where art and the passage of time embrace each other.
a unique piece for those looking not only to decorate, but to build atmospheres:
an intimate universe where art breathes.
