Briar Rose Italian Style Clock – JP3064

Briar Rose is one of the fairy tales compiled by the brothers Grimm. The source of the story also had influences from Sleeping Beauty. Each of these three wonderful clocks tells the same story in a completely different style of painting. Easily adaptable to a large variety of surfaces but also spectacular pieces to adorn your home and celebrate the creativity of folk art.

For this interpretation we’ll go to the Chiaroscuro techniques so beautifully portrayed by the Italian decorative artists.
