EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of artistry and craftsmanship - a George III green and gilt Japanned musical automaton table clock. Created around 1780 by the talented Thomas Wagstaff or Wagstaffe, this exquisite timepiece depicts the Lord Mayors Parade in all its glory. The clock's redecorated case features stunning gilt Chinoiserie figures against a vibrant green background, truly capturing the essence of the Georgian era. Its brass handle with flambeau finials adds an elegant touch to the inverted bell top, while the serpentine aperture on the front door invites us to explore further. With its intricate movement, this clock comes alive as it chimes and plays music through its wind-up mechanism. The percussion instruments within create delightful melodies that transport us back in time. The sound of bells fills the air, adding a sense of grandeur to any space lucky enough to house such an extraordinary creation. Every detail has been carefully engraved and meticulously crafted, showcasing both technical skill and artistic vision. This automaton table clock is not just a functional timekeeper but also a work of art that mesmerizes with its beauty and complexity. As we admire this photograph from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how human ingenuity can transform everyday objects into extraordinary masterpieces that stand the test of time.
