Uma jóia preciosa com múltiplas funções...

This is an English lantern clock dated about 1650. Have you ever seen one before? Lantern clocks normally have brass cases. This is the only known example with a silver case showing that it was a luxury commission. 
Find this object in 'Treasures of the Royal Courts: Tudors, Stuarts and the Russian Tsars', until 14 July http://bit.ly/YUJj9y
