Mantle Clock c. 1936

"Mantle Clock" is a watercolor design for a clock by John Cutting, dating back to 1936. The clock features a traditional Roman numeral clock face, encased in a dark wood frame with a whimsical flourish of stylized flowers in bright colors on the lower panel. This detailed and decorative design, executed with fine detail, is indicative of Cutting’s work which was often whimsical and focused on everyday objects.
