Wall clock (cartel)
Object type: wall clock
Date: 1745 – 1749
Materials: bronze, enamel
Techniques: gilding
Artist: jean-jacques fieffé
Artist role: maker
Artist nationality: french
Artist dates: 1700 – 1770

Fieffé became a master clockmaker in 1725. It is not known when he was appointed clockmaker to the Paris Observatoire, but it must have been before 1749, as the tax mark on the case of this clock indicates. It is known that Fieffé obtained some of his cases from several of the best Parisian gilded-bronze founder-chasers, including Jean-Joseph de Saint Germain (1719–1791), Jacques Caffieri (1678–1755), and Philippe II Caffieri (1714–1774). The Observatoire was founded in 1667 at the command of Louis XIV (1638–1715). The original building, a fine example of French classicism, was designed by Charles Perrault (1613–1688), architect of the colonnade on the east facade of the Louvre. The earliest of the observatory’s astronomical instruments were installed on a terrace on the roof. In the first half of the eighteenth century its activities, under the supervision of the Académie Royale des Sciences, were principally connected with geodesy (a branch of mathematics used to determine the size and shape of the earth and the position of points on its surface) and the mapping of France.

Dressing gown
Object type: dressing gown
Date: 1879 – 1879
Materials: silk
Culture: japanese

Known as Yokohama robes for the Japanese port from which they were exported, this type of embroidered informal gown was one of the first items to be exported after Japan was opened to the West in 1854. The Yokohama port was then opened in 1859. The robes were sought after by women of economic means for their beauty, warmth, light weight and sense of exoticism. While the embroidery motifs on Yokohama robes, such as the swallows and floral tendrils on the pockets in this example, are very much in the Japanese taste, the cut of the garment is in the Western style, bearing no relation to native Japanese dress. The density of the embroidery on this piece exudes elegance and luxury and is finer than that worked on the later examples of the 1890s.

Brooch in the Form of a Panther
Object type: figurine
Date: 100 – 300
Materials: copper alloy, niello, silver
Techniques: inlay
Culture: roman
Subjects: panthers

This brooch is exceptional in its naturalistic rendering of a panther. The spots were created not with enamels but by the niello process, in which incisions in the silver were filled with an alloy of black sulphur that was then heated. Small brooches, often in whimsical animal forms, were worn both by Roman soldiers stationed in the provinces and by the native population. Though brooches in these forms appear throughout the Roman world, the distribution of finds and the archaeological remains of workshops suggest that the major centers of production were Britain and Gaul.
