Wall clock with calendar 1770 - 1780

This ornate wall clock, crafted by Thomas Harben II between 1770 and 1780, is a fine example of Rococo style. The gilded frame features intricate, flowing lines and a delicate, bird-like form at the top. This elaborate design, paired with the classical Roman numeral clock face, showcases the artistry of the English Rococo period. The clock, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the elegance and craftsmanship of 18th-century clockmaking.
