This French bracket clock, made by George Causard, dates back to the era of King Louis XVI. It is an ornate mustard-gold painted wood and brass clock with hand-painted floral motifs and Rococo-style asymmetrical curves. The clock face is porcelain, and the hands are a gilded metal. The outline of the wood carvings is in an intricate, floral pattern that also appears on the similarly styled shelf where it sits. Instead of the typical entirely golden metal Rococo-era clocks, this wooden one contains more muted colors and tones, while still keeping a feeling of sophisticated elegance and extravagance. It was crafted during the latter half of the eighteenth century, known for the Transitional Style in decorative arts. The Transitional Style was the time when the lavish decoration of Rococo style experienced pushback from the straight lines and simplicity of the Neoclassical style starting to take hold in Europe.
