The Cremona wall clock

 

 

   This is a strikingly beautiful wall clock  lavishly ornamented in renaissance style. The front is presided over by a grotesque mask just over the clock dial, which is surrounded by many leaves and flowers. The sides (see picture below) have a remarkable renaissance scroll with a boy in the center, many flowers, leaves and two more small grotesque faces. The lower section shows two dragons that seem to hold the clock in the air.  The clock is nicely crowned by the upper section, which contains among other things two birds.

 This clock is particularly beautiful, proportioned, very well ornamented, I consider it a masterpiece of the old Italian fretwork school of designers. I have restored it digitally with the most advanced graphic design techniques, adjusting everything with total precision, slots, symmetries, etc and I have laid out a pattern with complete instructions for very easy construction. It will be easy for you to make it and admire it for many years.

The clock is designed to be made with 1/4 inches wood or with 6 mm wood. It can be scaled to use other wood thickness as well. The following table gives the measures of the clock depending on the wood thickness you use:

  Clock height Clock depth Clock width
1/4  in. wood 28.8 in. 5.2 in. 11.1 in.
5 mm. wood 57.6 cm. 12.5 cm. 22,1 cm.
6 mm. wood 69.1 cm. 10.4 cm. 26.6 cm.

 These three pictures are courtesy of Boris Radovskiy from the USA: ¨This project was the most enjoyable and challenging of any one I've ever done. In fact, this clock looks much better in reality than on the pictures. It took me about 60 hours to make it, including 40 hours for scrolling and 20 hours for planning, assembling and finishing. As always, your patterns were stunningly accurate. Thank you very much!¨  Boris is a member of the Carolina Scrollers club. The clock is made with Sapelle, Blood Wood and Walnut. It is finished with satin polyurethane. It has a 160 mm dial.
