Description from the seller

Antique Art Nouveau clock - with working mechanism
A stunning looking, antique-style Art Nouveau table clock.

The piece, which is worthy of a work of art, depicts a graceful, finely crafted female figure holding up the ornate clock case. The entire body and base are also crafted, detailed copper castings, which carry the plant motifs and elegant lines of classic Art Nouveau.

The material of the clock is heavy, patinated old copper, which, as can be seen in the pictures, is in excellent, clean and preserved aesthetic condition.

The dial has classic Roman numerals and is decorated with elegant, dark-toned ornamentation on the inside. The original, mechanical, key-winding mechanism can be seen on the back of the clock, which does its job flawlessly and accurately.

Total height: approximately 35-36 centimeters
Pedestal diameter: approximately 10.5-11 centimeters at its widest point
Clock head width: approximately 11.5 centimeters including the decorative frame
This rare and striking piece is a perfect choice for collectors, but it can also be a classy decoration for an elegant living room, desk or mantelpiece. A real time capsule of the elegance of the early last century. Everything is original and the watch works perfectly! It works for 4-8 days with one winding. Please see the pictures because they are an integral part of the offer! The clock works, the key is stored in a fixed (threaded) way on the back. Personal collection in Budapest. In all other cases, it will be posted as a registered, registered item with tracking information!
