Atop the clock sits a regal sphinx cast in gilt bronze, while two magnificent gilt bronze griffins are positioned on either side of the glass-panelled case, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.

the obelisks are beautifully carved from richly veined marble and white onyx, adorned with egyptian motifs, evoking the splendour of the civilisation that inspired this design. Hieroglyphic-style reliefs further enhance their decorative appeal .

in good vintage condition, the clock bears reassuring signs of age and use, including minor, old repairs that point towards its originality and history without detracting from its overall appeal. The clock’s movement has recently been professionally serviced, ensuring it is in good working order.

highly unusual and extremely rare, this clock set would have been commissioned as a bespoke item rather than mass-produced, making it a true collector’s piece. A remarkable opportunity for any art deco enthusiast.
