Art Deco Clock with Elephant and Tigers / Panthers by Irénée Rochard

1920 - 1940
Description

A magnificent Art Deco clock featuring an impressive sculpture in the Japanese Meiji style, depicting two tigers in mid-attack on an elephant. Cast in cold-painted spelter, the scene is intricately detailed, with one tiger clinging to the elephant’s back and the other lifted by its raised trunk. The elephant is adorned with ivorine (faux ivory) tusks, adding a refined touch to this rare and dynamic piece.

The clock is set within a finely crafted green onyx and marbled case, framed with elegant gold accents, and rests on a base of richly patterned marble and onyx, exemplifying the geometric elegance of the Art Deco period.

The sculpture was created by renowned artist of Art Deco period, I. Rochard, with signature visible on the elephant’s leg.

In very good, vintage condition with a beautifully preserved patina, minor signs of age and use as to be expected.

The clock movement has recently been professionally serviced and it is in good, working condition.

French Art Deco mantel clocks from the 1920s and 1930s feature geometric marble or onyx bases paired with figurative or animalier metal sculptures and stylised clock dials.

These clocks typically combine variegated marble and onyx bases with patinated spelter or cast bronze figurative elements and brass clock movements.

Authentic pieces feature geometric stone bases, mechanical clock movements appropriate to the era, age-consistent patination on metal sculptures, and maker signatures etched or cast into the base or sculpture.

An Art Deco sculptural clock functions well as a focal decorative piece positioned on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table within modern or eclectic interiors.

Clean stone surfaces using a soft cloth dampened with mild water, avoiding acidic cleaning products. Dust patinated metal sculptures gently without polished abrasives, and retain a qualified horologist for clockwork maintenance.
