EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of craftsmanship - a miniature striking bracket clock, numbered 222 and created around 1695 by the renowned clockmaker Thomas Tompion. Standing at just 17.7 cm in height, this exquisite timepiece is currently held in a private collection. The clock's intricate metal case features a domed top adorned with silver mounts depicting elegant flowering urns. Resting on a gadrooned base, it is further embellished with a Bacchic mask and flanked by statuesque figures of a lion and unicorn. A silver foliate cast carrying handle adds to its regal allure. Tom Tompion's expertise shines through in the movement of this baroque masterpiece. The clockwork mechanism within ensures precise timekeeping while also providing the enchanting feature of striking chimes. Capturing the essence of an era long gone, this miniature marvel transports us back to the late 17th century when such ornate timepieces were treasured possessions among nobility and aristocracy. Thanks to eChristies Images for preserving this image that allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also the historical significance behind this exceptional creation. This photograph from Bridgeman Images offers us an opportunity to admire Tompion's genius as we delve into his world where every tick represents both beauty and precision.
