Sell Your Belle Epoque Bronze Dore Enameled Japy Freres Clock
The Belle Époque or La Belle Époque (French: [bɛlepɔk]; French for “Beautiful Epoch”) is the term often given to a period of French history, usually dated to between 1880 and the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Occurring during the era of the French Third Republic, it was a period characterised by optimism, regional peace, economic prosperity, colonial expansion, and technological, scientific, and cultural innovations. In this era of France’s cultural and artistic climate (particularly within Paris) the arts markedly flourished, with numerous masterpieces of literature, music, theatre, and visual art gaining extensive recognition.
