Doll's head clock

Doll's head clock

Doll's head clocks, often known by their French name tête de poupée, were popular in the later half of Louis XIV's reign. They are named for their profile which resembles a head and shoulders. A doll's head clock is almost always ornamented with Boulle marquetry.
