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...

Pendulum Borne in Gilt Bronze, Allegory of the Goddess Hera, Period Restoration
Located in CRÉTEIL, FR
Sublime pendulum in gilded bronze, the mercury gilding is original. The dial is white enamelled and the hours are written in Roman numerals. Period: Restoration Dimensions: Height: 48.5cm x Length: 34.5cm x Depth: 12.5cm Original mechanism without modification. Overhauled by a watchmaker and in perfect working order. A bollard-type model, it represents the myth of the Goddess Hera skillfully staged. Hera is the protective goddess par excellence of women and the goddess of legitimate marriage, guardian of the fertility of the couple and of women in childbirth. Here we are in the presence of a scepter or figure two alliances, feminine and masculine entwined, symbolizing the legitimate union of marriage. No veil for our beautiful goddess but an amphora filled with water, a reference once again to the history of our goddess where each year we celebrated the hierogamy, the sacred marriage of Hera and Zeus, which marked the renewal vegetation. Hera regained her virginity in the living waters of springs and rivers. Beneath the dial, a magnificent peacock is revealed, the favorite animal of our Greek divinity Hera, wife of Zeus. According to Greek mythology the “eyes” visible on the tail of the peacock were placed there by Hera to commemorate her faithful guardian, Argos, who had a hundred eyes (Ovid I, 625). According to legend, Argos was hired by Hera, jealous of Io, one of the nymphs courted by her husband Zeus, whom she suspected of adultery. She transformed the young woman into a heifer and entrusted her guardianship to the giant to spy on her husband. Argos possessed a hundred eyes and kept fifty of them open which constantly watched...

Antique Table Clocks and Desk Clocks

Whether you’re working on-site or giving your home office the makeover it deserves, a new, vintage or antique table clock or desk clock is a decorative touch that blends ornament and functionality. Who says that a unique desk clock isn’t a meaningful addition to your home office or library? And who says you don’t need a cool clock anymore?

While our means for telling time have evolved from pocket watches to wristwatches and finally to our digital phones, there is likely still a place for a table clock or desk clock in your life, even if it isn’t a modern desk clock.

Antique and vintage clocks appeal to our penchant for nostalgia, whisking us back in time to the 18th and 19th centuries, when clockmakers were busying themselves with designs for objects such as mantel clocks, then ornate pieces that were typically displayed on top of a fireplace. Tabletop clocks and desk clocks are variations on the carriage clock, a small, portable timepiece outfitted with a hinged carrying handle that garnered popularity as the growth of rail travel took shape.

Clocks make great collectibles. More than one mantel clock in your home library is going to elevate the space where your carefully curated stacks of books live, while a well-designed small decorative desk clock can be a fun way to express your personal style. Amid your inkwell, porcelain paperweights and other desk accessories, a desk or table clock designed during the Art Deco or Louis XVI eras, for example, is going to stand out in your workspace as a striking accent.

Since new, vintage and antique tabletop and desk clocks are not as common in today’s interiors, these objects will make a statement in yours. Find a spectacular clock on 1stDibs now.
