Tafelklok of consoleklok, gefineerd met marqueterie van koper en tin op een fond van schildpad c. 1780 - 1830

This anonymous, 18th-century, table clock, is a beautiful example of marquetry. The intricate designs of the clock's surface are created by inlaying different materials, specifically copper and tin, into a tortoiseshell background. The clock's design follows the Rococo style of the period with its ornate details and the use of asymmetrical curves. It is an example of the decorative and artistic craftsmanship of the time.
