Têto de poupée
A French clock case of 'doll's-head' shape which evolved during the third quarter of the 17th century. The overall appearance of the clock is, in fact, of an oval head standing on a spreading moulded base, the top of the case being of segmental form and the sides deeply scrolled. In an elaborately decorated finish of Boulle work and applied gilded mounts, and often with an oval aperture embracing the dial, it survived until the Regency (1715-23).
