Telling time is an afterthought.
A wonderfully ornate brass and cloisonné enamel clock with jewel-toned portrait panels that refuses to simply sit there and tell time.
Found in a wonderfully overdone Victorian home in Chestnut Hill, this vintage clock is covered in turquoise and cobalt cloisonné enamel, while glass sides reveal the inner workings and painted ladies hold court from deep blue enamel panels. Elaborate from every angle and gloriously overdone, it is equal parts clock and decorative object, and a very good argument for checking the time the old-fashioned way.
