chimney clock - Art Deco Wood, Brass - 1930-1940

Antique HAC mantel clock, Germany, circa 1930 (Art Deco)

Antique, German-made Art Deco mantel clock attributed to HAC (Hamburg American Clock Company). This clock is an export model from the late 1920s to early 1930s, as evidenced by the distinctive "FOREIGN" inscription on the dial, typical of German clocks exported to the United Kingdom.

The cabinet is made of mahogany wood veneer and features an elegant arched shape with geometric elements that are characteristic of the Art Deco period. Decorative inlays and the proportions of the cabinet emphasize the style and the era.

The dial is made of metal, with black Arabic numerals and two winding openings. The hands are original and have a distinctive shape. The clock is equipped with a mechanical spring-driven movement with a striking mechanism that strikes the hours and half-hours (typical for German mantel clocks from this period).

Condition: Vintage, with natural signs of aging and wear, in authentic condition.
