"Zodiac Clock, " Spectacular Art Deco Sculptural Clock in Wrought Iron and Copper

About the Item

One of the most unusual and spectacular Art Deco pieces we have ever offered, this large Art Deco clock is composed of fer forgé or wrought iron and copper, all hand hammered and formed, with a central clock face surrounded by open work featuring the symbols of each of the Zodiac signs. The artisanry is extraordinary, and though it is not marked, it is clearly a French piece of the highest order. The clock can be displayed as a table top piece or a mantle clock, but is also designed to hang on a wall. The winding key survives, and is included with the clock.
