Description from the seller

Italian Wall Clock circa 1960–1980 – Bronze – Movement West German – Baroque Rococo Style

Elegant and striking vintage Italian-made wall clock, datable approximately between the 1960s and 1980s, crafted in a Baroque and Rococo style, with a clear nod to the grand ornamental European clocks of the 18th and 19th centuries.

The case, marked on the back “BREV. ITALY”, features rich bronze work, characterized by elaborate relief decorations with roses, flowers, leaves, scrolls and vegetal motifs. The surface retains a beautiful patina, giving the clock an antique and particularly decorative appearance.

The dial, enriched with floral decorations, features Roman numerals and distinctive shaped hands, in harmony with the classical layout of the entire clock.

Particularly interesting is the combination of Italian manufacture of the case with the mechanical movement of West German production, marked “West Germany”, a feature that allows placing the piece within the context of European production in the second half of the twentieth century.

The model reveres the tradition of ancient French cartel clocks and Rococo clocks, reinterpreted according to the tastes of Italian interior design of the period.

A piece with strong presence and decorative charm, suitable for living rooms, studies, entrances, classical environments and vintage clock collections.

ATTENTION: "Shipping costs are valid only for destinations on the mainland. For islands and overseas territories (e.g., Malta, Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Cyprus), additional shipping costs apply according to Catawiki’s policy."
