Design for a Clock 1765 - 1795

This anonymous design for a clock from the late 18th century is a fine example of the Rococo style, characterized by its ornate and asymmetrical decoration. The clock features a central round face framed by intricate scrollwork, floral motifs, and a dramatic urn-shaped top. The use of delicate curves, intricate details, and light colors is typical of the Rococo period, creating an elegant and playful design. The design's emphasis on decorative flourishes rather than strict geometric forms reflects the era's taste for artistic freedom and a sense of playfulness in design.
