The Music Room is part of the Duke family addition to the home and is filled with objects reflecting many different design and cultural influences. Doris Duke rearranged this room many times as the use of the room changed. The sunburst clock features a central painted dial with Roman numerals within a beaded frame and sunburst surround. Doris Duke purchased it for the Duke family residence on 5th Avenue in the early 1940s, and it came to Rough Point in the early 1960s.
