This case is slightly different to other clocks we have had by Joseph Elsner which suggests a later date.
Joseph Elsner is noted as working between 1838 and 1856, although a number of the clocks we have seen would date before 1838.
He went into partnership with J. Petrovitz under the name of Elsner and Petrovitz, and many of their clocks are similar to the early ones made by Joseph Elsner himself.

 Frederick Chopin, as a Man and Musician — Complete eBook
This, then, was Pan Joseph Elsner, the ancestor of modern Polish music, the teacher of Chopin, the fine connoisseur and cautious guide of original talents.
Joseph Elsner taught Chopin those things that are most difficult to learn and most rarely known: to he exacting to one’s self, and to value the advantages that are only obtained by dint of patience and labour.
Elsner had insight and self-negation (a rare quality with teachers) enough to act up to his theory, and give free play to the natural tendencies of his pupil’s powers.

 Frederick Chopin, as a Man and Musician — Volume 1 eBook
The first musical person of the town [Warsaw] is still the old, youthful Joseph Elsner, a veteran master of our art, who is as amiable as he is truly estimable.
One is often mistaken with regard to the outward appearance of a celebrated man; I mean, one forms often a false idea of him before one has seen him and knows a portrait of him.
Elsner has continued this collection down to the present time; also the portraits of Liszt, Thalberg, Chopin, and Clara Wieck shine down from the old monastic walls.

 [No title]
Joseph Elsner, the son of a cabinet and musical instrument maker at Grottkau, in Silesia, was born on June 1, 1769.
When, after a long illness during his sojourn in Breslau, thus runs his version, Elsner went, on the day of the Holy Trinity in the year 1789, for the first time to church, he was so deeply moved by the sounds of the organ that he fainted.
Elsner tried his strength and ability in all genres, from oratorio, opera, and symphony, down to pianoforte variations, rondos, and dances, and in none of them did he fail to be pleasing and intelligible, not even where, as especially in his sacred music, he made use--a sparing use--of contrapuntal devices, imitations, and fugal treatment.

Chopin was born in 1809 or 1810 in Zelazowa Wola, a town not far from Warsaw, of a Polish mother and French father.
He studied composition under Joseph Elsner, a teacher who was wise enough to recognize that Chopin was something special and needed to be treated carefully.
Elsner wanted Chopin to compose symphonies, sonatas and perhaps Polish national opera but allowed his pupil to develop naturally.

When Chopin was sixteen, he attended the Warsaw Conservatory of Music, directed by composer Joseph Elsner.
Elsner, like Zywny, insisted on the traditional training associated with Classical music but allowed his students to investigate the more original imaginations of the Romantic style as well.
Prolific as this might seem, Chopin's earlier teacher, Elsner, voiced his disappointment in Chopin's inability to create an opera for the sake of Poland.

 Frederic Chopin
Elsner proved just the right man. Most teachers of the period were pedantic old fossils, who pinned their pupils, talented and untalented alike, down to the stereotyped rules, and chillingly checked all attempts at originality.
Chopin had been studying with Elsner for some time when his father thought it would be good for him to have a little tour before settling down to the active practice of his profession.
His old master Elsner, with all the pupils of the Warsaw Conservatoire, met him, sang a cantara composed for the occasion, and presented him with a silver goblet filled with Polish soil.

Chopin’s love for his native Poland seems to have stayed with him throughout his life even though he never returned to his country after leaving in 1830 at age 20.
When he left, his teacher, Joseph Elsner, gave him an urn filled with Polish soil; he never parted with the urn and it was buried with him when he died.
As a transplanted Parisian, Chopin didn’t place his nationalism under wraps; he kept the flame of Poland alive in himself by writing music that was part of the country’s basic identity, namely dance forms — the mazurka and the polonaise.

To Chopin, the mazurka was Poland, and Chopin’s love for his native Poland seems to have stayed with him throughout his life, even though he never re-turned to his country after leaving it in 1830 at age 20.
When he left, his teacher, Joseph Elsner, gave him an urn filled with Polish soil; he never parted with the urn and it was buried with him in Paris when he died.
The Five Mazurkas of Opus 7 are early pieces, composed when Chopin was all of 20 or 21, and they have stood the test of time, most being of beguiling freshness and ingenuity of rhythm, form, and harmonic color.

Chopin studied music first with Joseph Elsner, and after 1826 in the Musical School in Warsaw.
There was also the fatherly guidance of his composition teacher Josef Elsner at the Warsaw Conservatory, who understood him and nourished him without too many strictures.
His real aim is to cramp his genius." Elsner, too, quickly realized that "they have recognized genius in Frederic and are already frightened that he will outstrip them, so they want to keep their hands on him for three years in order to hold back something of that which nature herself might push forward."

For the pupils of the Conservatorium he wrote vocal pieces in from one to ten parts, and he composed also a number of canons in four and five parts, which fact seems to demonstrate that he had no ill-will against the scholastic forms.
Two noteworthy opinions of the writer may be fitly prefixed to this quotation--namely, that Elsner was a Pole with all his heart and soul, indeed, a better one than thousands that are natives of the country, and that, like Haydn, he possessed the quality of writing better the older he grew:--
