1985.R.479, Clock, early 20th century

479

GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
Fashion designer, Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel, originally installed this clock at Villa La Pausa, and it remained part of the villa's decor through the residency of Wendy and Emery Reves. 

Adapted from
  • Olivier Meslay and Martha MacLeod, From Chanel to Reves (Dallas, Texas: Dallas Museum of Art, 2015), 11.

NOTES
TMS Updates: 
- place of origin
- display and search dates
- Provenance

"Abraham Olney" is inscribed on the face of the clock but I could not find any further information.
The clock originally had "n.d." for the date -- based on an interior photo of La Pausa in 1935 when Chanel owned it, the clock is clearly visible on the wall. I think it is safe to say it is early 20th century .
