This is a drawing of an Empire shelf clock. The image displays detailed architectural drawings of an Empire-style shelf clock, such as a top plan, front elevation, and side elevation view. The drawing meticulously details dimensions and elements of the clock, focusing on decorative and structural aspects like columns on the front elevation and the clock’s dial. An enlarged detail of the clock hands, showcasing intricate design work, is also shown.
