Clock - David Marshall - Bronze, Aluminium - 1970-1980

Desk clock-sculpture designed by the renowned Scottish artist David Marshall, manufactured in Spain around the 1970s/1980s. This piece is a perfect exponent of mid-century brutalist design. The main body is made of solid cast bronze, playing with strong contrasts between hand-polished gold-toned surfaces and the dark, organic textures of the rough casting. It rests elegantly on a heavy geometric base of cast aluminum, which includes the artist's carved signature or stamp. It incorporates a battery-powered analog quartz clock mechanism, subtly integrated into the structure. A highly decorative collector's piece, halfway between abstract sculpture and functional design. Condition: Very good overall condition, presenting a natural patina and minor marks consistent with its age. The clock mechanism functions properly. No restorations or structural alterations.
