This porcelain wall clock, made at the renowned Höchst Manufactory in Germany between 1760 and 1770, showcases the intricate Rococo style popular during the period. The clock's design is characterized by delicate, asymmetrical curves and floral motifs, culminating in a playful cherub figure perched atop the clock face. The cherub, a symbol of innocence and time's passage, adds a whimsical touch to this exquisite example of decorative arts.
