About the Item
An early form of timekeeping, the solar clock traces its origins to mankind’s first observations of daylight and shadow. Likely beginning as a simple post placed in the ground, the sundial evolved over centuries into a practical and widely used instrument.
Solar clocks were common throughout Europe and saw particular use among travelers and merchants in the 17th century. With the rise of mechanical clocks, their functional role diminished, yet they remain valued today for their historical significance and sculptural presence, offering a quiet reflection of time measured by the movement of the sun.
