Description from the seller

French Art Deco clock
Dating from the 1930s–1940s, label marked 1930
Structure in marble and chrome-plated metal
Key-wound mechanical movement – made in France
Mechanism untested / operation to be verified

Elegant Art Deco-style clock from the early 20th century, characteristic of French productions in the 1930s–1940s. This piece appeals with its sober yet refined geometric lines, typical of Art Deco aesthetics, combining veined black marble and a chrome-plated metal frame.

The square dial features a modernist typography highly representative of the era, with its decorative balance visible in the lower part behind a hinged glass door. The inscription “Made in France” appears at the bottom of the dial.

The clock operates with a key-wound mechanism, with a visible balance. The original key is present.

This decorative piece would sit perfectly in a vintage, Art Deco, or contemporary interior, and also makes a beautiful collectible.

The piece showcases a high quality of manufacture with noble materials and elegant design, emblematic of French decorative arts from the interwar period.

Overall structure in good general condition
Marble with slight signs of use and small marks from time
Glass panes present and intact
Dial clearly legible
