Keeping Time: Clocks by Boulle

Location
Wallace Collection
Manchester Square

W1U 3BN
Description
This exhibition runs from Wednesday 27th November 2024 to Sunday 2nd March 2025.
For the first time, the Wallace Collection is bringing together clocks by André-Charles Boulle (1642–1732), the most famous cabinetmaker to have worked for the court of the Sun King, Louis XIV.
Five exceptional timepieces will tell the story of how Boulle took advantage of scientific discoveries to create unique clock designs in glittering baroque style, the influence of which spread across the world and centuries. The clocks were the work of many hands, involving leading artists and craftspeople from all over 18th-century Paris.
Many of Boulle’s contemporaries also drew on the concept of time in their work. This will be explored in a complementary display in the museum’s Billiard Room, which will be uniting two magnificent artworks: The Dance to the Music of Time by Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665) and The Borghese Dancers by Henri Perlan (1597–1656) and François Anguier (1604–1669).
