EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of horological history - the William and Mary miniature striking bracket clock, no. 226, created by the renowned clockmaker Thomas Tompion in the late 17th century. Crafted with ebony and metal, this exquisite timepiece stands at a height of 24.2 cm. The clock's plinth-form case is adorned with intricate foliate cast gilt metal handle, adding an elegant touch to its overall design. Its domed top further enhances its baroque aesthetic appeal. Capturing the essence of both functionality and beauty, this miniature striking bracket clock embodies the craftsmanship and attention to detail that Tompion was known for during his lifetime. The photograph allows us to admire every aspect of this extraordinary creation - from its meticulously crafted face and dial to its delicate gold accents. It transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into an era when such timepieces were not only practical instruments but also symbols of wealth and status. Now part of a private collection, this William and Mary masterpiece serves as a testament to Tompion's enduring legacy as one of England's most celebrated clockmakers.
