This Art Deco mantel clock originates from the 1920s period and is made from opalescent glass, brass, and enamel. The piece measures 11 cm high and 11 cm wide, making it a compact decorative item for display on a mantelpiece. The transparent square glass body features a milky blue opalescent finish with clear edges, moulded in high relief with lovebirds perched among prunus branches and foliage. Set into the centre is a round brass dial framed by a Greek key bezel and a gold-coloured chapter ring with black numerals. The painted enamel dial depicts an unusual scene of three blue birds amongst trees. Additional visual elements include black clock hands, a moulded signature mark on the glass, and crisp botanical detailing throughout the moulded frame. In a modern interior, this clock suits placement on a mantelpiece, living room shelf, or desk as an ornamental timepiece. The tactile glass and metallic brass combination provides a functional display piece that integrates well into historic or design-conscious contemporary rooms.

FAQs

Art Deco opalescent glass timepieces, popularised in France during the 1920s, combine sculptural relief-moulded glass casings with precision clockwork mechanisms. Renowned glassmakers like Rene Lalique created decorative mantel clocks featuring stylized natural motifs, such as lovebirds and botanical branches, utilizing specific chemical additives in the glass batch to produce a distinct milky blue iridescence.

These clocks were crafted using press-moulded glass infused with bone ash or uranium salts to create an opalescent effect that reacts to light. The glass casing houses a central metal bezel, often made of gilded brass or bronze, surrounding a mechanical clockwork movement and hand-painted or enamelled dial.

Authentic pieces typically feature moulded or wheel-engraved signatures, such as R. LALIQUE, integrated directly into the glass design rather than applied afterwards. Additionally, genuine opalescent glass exhibits a characteristic warm orange or yellow hue when viewed under transmitted light, contrasted with its cool milky blue shade under reflected light.

A sculptural glass table clock serves as an elegant focal point when placed on a dark wood mantelpiece, marble console table, or minimalist desk. Positioning the clock where natural daylight can strike the glass highlights its opalescent qualities and intricate relief moulding.

Clean the glass casing gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or a microfibre towel slightly dampened with distilled water, avoiding liquid contact with the central dial and metal movement. Chemical cleaners and abrasive solvents must be avoided to prevent stripping applied enamels or degrading delicate gilding.
