This anonymous design for a clock from the 18th century is a detailed drawing of a clock in the Rococo style. The clock design is highly ornamented with scrolling details, including a putto figure atop the clock, and a female figure adorning the bottom. The overall design is very decorative and emphasizes elegance and the intricate detail of the Rococo period. The design is likely intended for use by a clockmaker or craftsman to create a real clock based on the drawing. This drawing, a type of design known as a "model book," is a valuable resource for studying the design and craftsmanship of clocks in the 18th century.
