Vintage "Anemone" Crystal Table Clock by Daum, France
By Daum
Located in Morristown, NJ
An attractive vintage 20th c., crystal table clock signed "Daum - France" on the crystal. The quartz clock mechanism also has a stylized Daum signature located below 12 o'clock. At 10' square, the clock has a strong visual presence. History And Meaning Of Anemones: It was believed that the flower sprang from the blood of the slain Adonis, who was a lover of the goddess Aphrodite. As such, anemones were often seen as a symbol of love and passion. In Victorian England, anemones were given as gifts to express love and anticipation.

Dimensions: 10"h x 10"w x 2.25"d Condition: Good, oxidation to metal ring surrounding dial, no visible chips, cracks, or repairs. Clock has not been tested. Provenance: The Collection of Olga & Arthur Rankin, NYC. Arthur Rankin was a visionary who wore many hats as a producer, director, screenwriter and animator. He is best known for pioneering the art of “Animagic” — or stop-action animation. His legacy is etched in the hearts of millions, especially during the holiday season. Rankin/Bass Productions gave us timeless treasures like “Rudolph the...
