AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exclusive piece of Brutalist design created by the renowned artist David Marshall (Málaga, Spain). This tabletop clock is an iconic example of Marshall’s artistic metalwork, characterized by its robust aesthetics and the contrast of textures and materials. It is the original gallery model, highly sought after by collectors due to the absence of advertising logos, which preserves the sculptural purity of the work.

Authenticity and quality details:

Artist signature: It bears the authenticity seal engraved in the metal in the lower left corner.

Foundry marks: In the lower right corner are clearly and deeply embossed the geometric symbols (triangle and square) that certify the workshop of origin and the quality of the alloy.

Original base: It retains the original leather base on the bottom, with David Marshall’s name and logo perfectly engraved, a critical detail to guarantee its premium provenance.

Technical specifications:

Materials: Exterior structure in solid brass (bronze) with central dial in cast aluminum.

Condition: Excellent condition. It features a very attractive natural patina that enhances its brutalist character. The metal has not been aggressively polished, preserving the original depth of the engravings.

Mechanism: Battery-powered quartz movement fully functional.

Style: Brutalist / Mid-Century

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a signed author piece, ideal for high-end interior design projects or collectors of Spanish design from the 20th century.
