Did you remember to spring forward? 🕰️ Priestesses of the temple of Vesta, the ancient Roman goddess of the hearth, appear on this clock carrying the altar with the sacred flame.

This theme extends to the hour and minute hands, which are in the form of a snake, the symbol of eternity. 🏷️ #Getty #DST #DaylightSavingTime #FrenchArt #Decor
