This mantel clock originates from the Art Deco period of circa 1920. It comprises a tall clear glass dome resting on a circular wooden base with stepped mouldings and short turned feet, enclosing an exposed brass movement with a white dial bearing black Arabic numerals, an electromagnetic coil, a brass tubular column, and a small ball finial at the top. The materials consist of brass, glass, and wood with a warm brass and timber finish. The unit measures 44 cm high, 22 cm wide, and 22 cm deep. It suits placement on a mantelpiece in a gentleman's library or study as a functional timepiece.

FAQs

Patented in France during the early 1920s, a Bulle clock is an electromagnetic timepiece that relies on a battery-powered coil moving over a curved permanent magnet to maintain its pendulum swing.

These clocks typically feature solid brass movements, silvered or painted metal dials, wire-wound coils, turned wooden bases, and mouth-blown clear glass domes.

Authentic examples feature the Bulle-Clock trademark printed on the dial face, serial numbers stamped into the movement frame, and the characteristic curved horizontal magnet passing through the pendulum coil.

Place the clock centrally on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or bookshelf, allowing the exposed brass mechanism to stand out against neutral painted walls or dark timber joinery.

Keep the glass dome dusted with a microfibre cloth, avoid touching the unvarnished brass components with bare hands, and ensure electrical connections are kept free from moisture and corrosion.
