Unique, Stylish & All Handcrafted Copper Art Deco Style Mantel or Table Clock

About the Item

Possibly the coolest mantel clock on 1stdibs. This hand-crafted mantel or table clock is exceptional both in terms of design and execution. This looks like a 1920's clock, but we are not entirely certain, because we have never seen this style and use of materials before. The arched base with the unique 'feet' is made of the same material as the 'clock house' that it carries. It is actually handmade out of really thick copper and over the many decades it has grown a remarkable patina. This design is so unique and appealing we really wish we knew who the designer was, because this can only be the work of a master craftsman. The back of the clock tells us that in the not too distant past, the clock mechanism has been replaced. We believe the clock mechanism dates to circa 1920/1940. It is a single day mechanism that requires everyday winding via the brass wing nut on the back. This top quality workmanship clock will look great on your sideboard, mantel piece, credenza etc. Its 'calm & clean' dial face is as timeless as the design of this stunning clock itself and if you appreciate its uniqueness as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary. Maximum width x height x depth: 22.4 x 10.2 x 5.5 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).

  • 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...
