Price:$2,594.30

About the Item

Stunning and perfect running wall clock from the European Art Nouveau and Jugendstil era. If you like rare Arts and Crafts antiques in general and marvelous clocks in particular then this handcrafted wall clock from circa 1900-1910 could be the perfect addition to your collection / interior. Only when you truly understand how many difficult and time consuming techniques it took to create this antique work of time telling art, will you be able to really appreciate its beauty, rarity and quality. First of all, a ceramics specialist created the hand painted, circular Majolica body. The hand painted and stylized flowers on that body are most likely done by another specialist artisan. The elegant and 'flowing' lady figures & flowers would have been the work of a sculptor and the castings that were made from the sculptures will have been the work of a specialist foundry. The unique chain would have been made by another specialist and the perfectly enameled and all hand painted dial face requires yet another specialism and thus yet another artisan. It does not stop there, because inside of this masterpiece is a perfect working, brass, eight day clock mechanism that could only be ordered from a specialist clock maker. The clock maker may also have created the gilt bronze door in front of the dial face, but the rounded glass window inside that door would again have been made elsewhere. All those specialists in the early 1900s have created this incredibly stylish wall clock. And for it to be in this amazing condition and still running almost perfectly on time after more than a hundred years is like an ode to the dedication and skills of all the artisans from that era. By the way, have you also noticed the hand-sawn and hand engraved, flower and leaf design, gilt brass dials? With this much quality and attention to details you can imagine how this clock would only be affordable for the wealthiest in that era. Apart from a restauration done to the bottom of the pendulum (the part that is swinging back and forth inside this wall clock) this very stylish antique could not be more perfect and we are proud to offer it to you, the 1stdibs.mommunity, first. Mind you, our fair price for this rare and excellent condition wall clock includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Maximum height x width x depth: 21.4 x 10 x 4.7 inches. Height of the clock without the chain: 13.4 inches.
