Table clock - Wood, Metal, Brass - 1910-1920

Prestigious antique desk clock – Late 19th century / Early 20th century – Working An fascinating witness of time, of clockmaking tradition and the elegance of a bygone era. We offer a beautiful and distinctive eclectic-style mantel clock, with hints of Liberty (Art Nouveau) influence, presumably dating from the period between the late 19th century and the early decades of the 20th century. An object with great historical and decorative charm, expression of an era in which clocks were not merely tools for measuring time, but true symbols of elegance and prestige in aristocratic and bourgeois homes. The characteristic shaped wooden structure in warm reddish-brown tones is embellished with refined gilded friezes, metal studs, turned pinnacles and an unusual circular mirror at the top. In the center stands the wide dial with Arabic numerals, enclosed in an impressive metal frame, while at the bottom are two evocative bells that testify to the taste and tradition of antique mechanical clockmaking. The great merit of this piece is its functioning. It is not merely an elegant decorative object, but a clock that continues to perform its function, keeping alive the charm of traditional mechanics. The patina of time, natural signs of use, and the finishes contribute to giving it a unique character and a particular beauty. A furnishing accessory rich in personality, ideal for collectors, antique and clock-enthusiasts, professional studios, libraries, classic living rooms and refined settings.
