Rococo-style Tall Clock
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Craig Barnett
Based on the Thomas Tompion 1699 original on display at the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Gallery at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, Barnett’s clock is constructed of solid walnut with walnut burl and crotch veneers. The piece showcases 97 separate moldings, each made of a silver bearing alloy plated with pure 24-karat gold. Barnett completed the clock in 1,600 hours. It has a shellac and lacquer finish.
