Desk clock in wood and brass, antique Edwardian style, estimated period 1910–1920, made in France, mechanical movement in working order.
Description from the seller
This twentieth-century mantel clock embodies the elegance of the Edwardian style with a refined decorative presence. Its noble wood construction features an arched shape on a rectangular base with rounded legs, typical of English designs of the era. The front is enhanced by exquisite artisanal marquetry: a stylized urn motif with scrolls in the center, flanked by geometric details and crowned by a carved fan above the dial, all executed with precision and decorative taste.
The circular dial, framed by a gilded brass bezel, displays classic Roman numerals and black hands that mark the hours with sobriety. Inside, it houses a mechanical movement of French origin, key-wound, which adds technical and collectible value. This Anglo-French pairing — British design and Gallic machinery — was common in luxury pieces intended for distinguished homes.
Beyond its timekeeping function, this watch is a striking decorative piece, ideal for classic settings or collections of historical watchmaking. Its marquetry, its traditional mechanism, and its stylistic harmony make it a testament to the refined taste and craftsmanship of its era.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
