EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of craftsmanship - the George III blue Japanned quarter striking long case clock from York, circa 1760. Standing at an impressive height of 224 cm, this exquisite clock is a testament to the artistry and skill of its creator, Henry Hindley. The clock's wooden case has been meticulously re-decorated with raised gilt and silvered Chinoiserie motifs, adding an air of opulence and elegance. Its double skirt plinth, breakarch trunk door, and bolt-and-shutter maintaining power are all intricate details that contribute to its overall grandeur. The fusion of Eastern influence in the form of oriental panels, lacquer inlay, and ornate scenes creates a truly unique aesthetic. The clock's japanning technique further enhances its allure by incorporating decorative gold and silver elements throughout. As a Georgian masterpiece, this timepiece not only serves as a functional object but also as an ornamental work of art. Its presence exudes sophistication while paying homage to the prevailing taste for exoticism during that era. This print captures every detail with precision and clarity. It allows us to appreciate the fine craftsmanship involved in creating such an exceptional piece. A true treasure from history preserved through photography for generations to admire.
