AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Unique hand-cut and chiselled Carrara marble Art Deco mouse lamp.

A rectangular, asymmetrical shape with an architectural-cubist appearance. Beautifully composed.

On top are two mice, one gnawing and one hidden behind a small edge. The clock case is carved entirely from a single piece of marble.

The clockwork isn't working! You're really buying this for the unique Art Deco design combined with the marble and the material. The clockwork needs to be checked.

Condition of the cabinet: One corner has been restored using the Japanese kintsugi technique with gold. There are some imperfections and flakes along the edges. A tiny chip here and there.

Weight is almost 10 kilograms.
