This is an early 20th‑century European Chinoiserie table clock (circa 1900–1920), featuring a mixed construction of a lacquered wooden front frame and a fully metal rear support. Movement: The clock includes an English mechanical movement combined with a French escapement, stamped “ENGLISH MVT WITH FRENCH ESCPT.” This combination was commonly used in quality clocks of the period. Front Frame: Crafted from wood and decorated in black lacquer with gold Chinoiserie motifs—floral elements, geometric patterns, and Asian-inspired figures. The decoration is hand-applied and typical of European chinoiserie craftsmanship. Rear Structure: The back is entirely metal with a brushed gilt finish imitating wood grain (scumble gilt technique). The movement sits in a brass cylindrical housing with a removable brass cover. Dial and Hands: The gilt chapter ring features stylised Arabic numerals and elegant hands, reflecting the transition from late Art Nouveau to early Art Deco. Condition: The piece shows age-related wear, including some lacquer and gilding loss. Brass surfaces show natural patina. Mechanical condition is tested , fully serviced, working normally, winding every 8 days or more. This clock represents a refined fusion of decorative craftsmanship and traditional European horology, making it a highly decorative and collectible example of early 20th‑century Chinoiserie design.
