Table or bracket clock 1770 - 1780

This table clock, crafted by English clockmaker Christopher Pinchbeck II between 1770 and 1780, is a fine example of 18th-century craftsmanship. The clock features an ornate gilt brass case with a white enamel face and is housed within a protective mahogany case. The clock's intricate design, with its sculpted cherubs and scrolling foliage, showcases the Rococo style prevalent in the period. This object is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
