AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage Kaiser Table Clock with Flamingos (39 cm) - German Movement & Italian Brass Case - Mid-20th Century - Functional
• Design & Case: The ornate brass/metal case depicts two elegant flamingos with detailed, relief-sculpted plumage, surrounded by aquatic plants. The inscription "MADE IN ITALY" is engraved on the underside of the base.
• Movement: An authentic mechanical, wind-up movement by the renowned German company Kaiser (the brand name is marked on the dial). The original butterfly-style winding key is present on the back.
• Dimensions: 39 x 21 x 7 cm.
• Condition & Functionality: The clock is in working order. It features a beautiful vintage patina. Please note that there is a visible, older metal repair/weld on the rear right side of the base, around the area of the movement (please examine the photographs carefully, as they form part of the description).
These clocks are sold in "as found" condition. While the movement appears complete—both visually and functionally—it is recommended to have it inspected or adjusted, as its timekeeping accuracy has not been recently tested. They show signs of normal wear, entirely consistent with their age.
