This 18th century "Jewel Cabinet with Watch" by James Cox is a stunning example of Rococo craftsmanship. The cabinet, crafted between 1760 and 1775, is adorned with intricate gilt bronze and delicately painted enamel panels. It features a central clock surmounted by putti, with two doors that open to reveal more enameled scenes. The cabinet is a testament to Cox’s skill and the artistry of the period, reflecting the luxurious tastes of the wealthy patrons of the time. This piece is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
