Clock - Marble, Brass - 1920-1930 - Mantel clock

French Art Deco-style mantel clock
architecture is very geometric and symmetric;
an association of light onyx and veined brown stone with black Arabic numerals in geometric typography;
Dial and gilded metal elements
arc-shaped forms and massive volumes characteristic of Art Deco
mechanical movement visible at the back, with a striking mechanism.
This clock belongs to the period of full development of Art Deco, particularly between the 1920s and 1930s.

At that time, mantel clocks became true interior decoration objects. Clockmakers and cabinetmakers frequently pair mechanical movements with luxurious materials such as onyx, marble, bronze, brass, and sometimes glass. The shapes become much more geometric than those of 19th-century clocks.
