Rare Art Deco / Bauhaus Bronze Table or Mantel Clock by Lenzkirch / C.Kühling

About the Item

Bronze table clock from the transitional period between Art Nouveau and Art Deco. This rare bronze table clock is by Lenzkirch and it dates from the transitional period of the Jugendstil into the Art Deco. This German cast bronze clock comes with an enamelled dial face and black lacquered numerals. The lines in this clock are much like the lines in many American Art Deco designs. The combination of the design, the beautiful patina of the bronze and the perfect beveled glass 'windows', through which you can see the pendulum swing, make this an absolute joy to own and look at. The 8 day mechanism is cleaned and in good working condition. The movement is signed 'Lenzkirch' and on the 'counter weight' there is the name 'C.Kühling'. We do not know who he is. Mind you, perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days is complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 12.38 x 8.5 x 4.25 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings on 1stdibs by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.

  • Antique Art Nouveau Ceramic Table or Mantel Clock with Bronze Flower Sculptures
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Rare and stunning majolica glazed antique clock from the European Art Nouveau era. If you like rare Arts & Crafts antiques in general and marvelous clocks in particular then this handcrafted table clock from circa 1900-1910 could be the perfect addition to your collection / interior. When you understand how many difficult and time consuming techniques it took to create this antique work of time telling art, will you really be able to appreciate its beauty, rarity and quality. First of all, it would have taken a designer several days, if not weeks, to hand draw this design and this would take multiple sketches. Secondly, a ceramics specialist created the perfectly shaped and glazed majolica 'clock house'. This requires glazing and heating/'baking' in the keln and there too many things can go wrong. Thirdly, the aesthetically beautiful flower sculptures that you now see in gilt bronze, would first have to be sculpted out of clay or another material. From that initial sculpture a mold would have to be made and that mold would then be filled with extremely hot liquid bronze. The bronze sculpture would then have to be sanded, polished and gilt. Fourthly, in both the glazed ceramic clock house and the bronze flowers...
