Reloj de pie — Historia y Análisis

Este extraordinario reloj de pie está hecho de varios metales y carey al estilo del fabricante de muebles francés Boulle. Alberga un intrincado mecanismo de reloj que puede reproducir catorce melodías. En la parte superior del reloj hay dos figuras negras.

Se representan de manera estereotipada con una falda hecha de hojas de tabaco y bandas doradas alrededor de sus cuellos y muñecas, referencias a las plantaciones y la esclavitud.
