Find·Found·Found : ART DECO WALL CLOCK

Kienzle Sleek Art Deco Wall Clock Modernist German

KIENZLE SLEEK ART DECO WALL CLOCK MODERNIST GERMAN


A fine German art deco / modernist design wall clock . It is 9.5 inches in diameter and a superb example of machine age design with sleek lines and stylized numerals. The clock is not signed, however, it is identical to another clock that we acquired that was designed by the German company, Kienzle. The clocks had sometimes metal labels on the back which our previous clock does. The winder does not function.

The metal and wiring is all original with a very cool bakelite on/off switch. The alabaster shade is new but has been copied to those used by Brandt during this time, French circa 1928.
