About the Item

Set of early 20th century Art Déco black marble desk clock and inkwells with base, France By: unknown Material: crystal, glass, marble, stone, metal Technique: cast, metalwork, molded, polished Dimensions: 10 in x 18 in x 6.5 in Date: early 20th century Style: Art Déco Place of origin: France Sculpted in polished black marble with striking white veining, this early 20th-century French desk set comprises a central clock flanked by twin inkwells, each integrated into a single geometric base of refined Art Déco design. The architectural form, defined by angular lines and symmetry, is punctuated by subtle metal accents, including the pointed finials and hinged lids of the inkwells. The clock face is framed in metal, with Arabic numerals and classic hands, and features the inscriptions “Satisfaction” and “Foreign,” suggesting British market distribution. The term “Foreign,” as mandated by UK import laws from the late 19th century, identified goods manufactured abroad, indicating the piece's French origin and export history. The reverse reveals a traditional mechanical backplate with adjustment apertures, confirming its period authenticity and craftsmanship.
