About the Item

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Huge and massive marble clock; it was made in France between 1930 and 1935 when Art Decò was at its height; it has a symmetrical shape with sharp, energetic, and compact geometries inspired by the ancient Egyptian and Pre-Columbian civilizations; the design is elegant and accurate, precious also in the choice of materials; red onyx from Tanzania, a rare and very expensive type of precious marble, which expresses the best of itself in the production of wall coverings and luxury objects, has been mainly used; the refined dark inlays are made with Portoro marble extracted in Liguria (Italy), better known as "Portovenere marble", whose history links it to the Etruscan and Roman civilizations; the Romans loved it immensely for its captivating decorative aspect and used it for art objects and furnishings that over the centuries have embellished the homes of kings and emperors. To elegantly frame the dial, protected by an opening glass, a light golden brass decoration has been applied. On the back, there is a graceful golden and open-worked door to access the internal device. All in all a very particular watch, aggressive and fine at the same time, an exclusive and unique object. It can be used as a table or desk clock but also placed over a fireplace. The object, with its size, is very heavy but is supported by strong golden brass feet. The mechanism is original and intact, as the key, but needs a simple overhaul and oiling. Measures: cm. 43 x 12 height cm. 30.

Saint Clement Blanche Letalle French Art Deco Vase In Ceramic And Pure Gold

By Saint-Clément, Blanche Letalle

Located in Prato, Tuscany

We kindly invite you to read the entire description, as we strive to provide detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our items. This distinctive and captivating vase stands out for its understated Pompeian red color, admired for its exceptional elegance and plasticity. The body is adorned with linear, refined, stylized stars in relief, embellished with pure gold accents. The pottery used is glazed earthenware, and the glossy finish suggests the use of vitreous glazes to achieve a bright, uniform effect. The gilding on the stars was likely applied using the ceramic lustre technique, where gold is added at a low temperature after the initial firing, resulting in a shiny and durable finish. The vase was crafted in the Art Deco style between 1930 and 1935 at the Saint Clement pottery...
