• • The central clock unit is mounted within the marble and features a bold, geometric diamond-shaped metal bezel.
  • The squared face presents a clean, legible design typical of the era.
  • Functionality Confirmed: The clock mechanism is fully working and includes its original winding key, which is a rare and significant feature.
  • An elegant seated female figure, cast in Spelter (a metal alloy used for decorative sculptures) with a silvered & bronze-toned finish, rests gracefully on the marble base.
  •  The figure is posed in a classic Art Deco style, representing the modern, fashionable woman of the era.
  • The Garnitures: The flanking marble blocks complete the three-piece symmetrical set, emphasizing the central sculpture and clock unit.
  •  The clock is in working order, running from its original mechanical movement, and comes with the essential, original winding key.
  •  The spelter figure is firmly attached and displays an attractive, aged patina on its metallic finish, enhancing its vintage appeal. There is a repair to the bird  the figure is holding, therefore condition is fair to good.
