Table clock 1585 - 1599

This intricate table clock, crafted by Johann Reinhold the Elder between 1585 and 1599, exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship of the late Renaissance period. The gilded brass case, adorned with intricate openwork designs, is a testament to the artistry of the time. The clock face, with its Roman numerals and delicate hands, emphasizes the importance of timekeeping during this era. The small size and ornate design suggest that this timepiece was intended for a private setting, likely the home of a wealthy patron.
