Clock (Primary Title)
Jean Goulden, French, 1878 - 1946 (Artist)
Jean Goulden’s metalwork and enameled clock is a well-known icon of the Art Deco style. The artist was fascinated by the Byzantine enamels he discovered at Mount Athos in Greece. Goulden, who created about 150 works of art in silver and enamel, was taught by the master enameler and lacquerer Jean Dunand, whose work is on view in the next gallery.
