EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of artistry and craftsmanship from the 18th century. The George III green and gilt Japanned musical automaton table clock, created by Thomas Wagstaff or Wagstaffe, is a true marvel to behold. Standing at a height of 49.5 cm, this ornate clock depicts the Lord Mayor's Parade in all its grandeur. The redecorated case features exquisite Chinoiserie figures on a vibrant green background, adding an air of elegance to the already intricate design. With its brass handle and flambeau finials atop the inverted bell top, every detail has been carefully considered. As you gaze upon this timepiece, you can imagine it being wound up with anticipation for each celebration it would mark. Its serpentine aperture to the front door reveals not only the precise inner workings but also hints at the entertainment it must have provided through its musical capabilities. This clock represents more than just a functional timekeeping device; it embodies tradition and British heritage. It serves as a reminder of London's rich history and cultural celebrations such as the Lord Mayor's Parade. With its lacquered finish and decorative elements, this George III table clock is truly an exceptional example of Georgian artistry. It stands as both an object of beauty and a testament to human ingenuity during that era.
