Unique Arts & Crafts Wall Clock with Stunning Front Plaque Depicting Father Time

About the Item

Exceptional and meaningful antique wall clock teaching Father Time symbolism. The extra large size of this two weight antique clock is one thing, but what makes it really stand out is the quality and the abundance of perfectly embossed sculptures all around the integrated dial face. The stunning decor portrays a unique combination of Father Time himself (as a personification of time) and a variety of societal subject matters that all have a deeper meaning to them and that are all associated with and influenced by time. There is father time himself with the hourglass in one hand and the scythe in his other. Both these symbols need no explanation. The owl as the international symbol for wisdom is probably what we all hope to achieve or gain in life. The child playing in the foreground teaches us to never stop playing or enjoying life to the fullest, because it is short. The sailing boat, we feel, is saying life is a journey and possibly that just like the unpredictibility of the wind, every human life too is influenced by events that we don't have any control over. Maybe you see other things in this work of art clock and that possibly is exactly what the artist would have liked to have achieved. He has created a work of beauty that also makes you think about who you are and how your life and your persona have developed. We are certain that you will never find another one like it and also that this type of top-quality made and meaningful craftsmanship may never be created again. This rare size and thick, embossed brass over solid wood clock, from the turn of the century truly is of an amazing quality and beauty. Also because of its striking patina, the look and feel of this clock is even more special in real life. No matter where this unique clock will be used and enjoyed, it will never fail to impress. The antique and beautiful movement is still in good working order and she strikes the whole hours. Finally, it comes with two brass weights that have seen better days, but that also is part of the character of this 'time telling clock'.
