About the Item

An elegant and highly decorative German mantel clock by Kienzle, dating from the mid-20th century, circa the 1940s–1950s. The clock features an elegant wooden case finished in a rich faux tortoiseshell lacquer, inspired by the timeless elegance of the Boulle style. Its deep red and dark tonal variations create a striking visual contrast with the finely detailed gilt bronze mounts. The case is beautifully adorned with ornate bronze floral and scrollwork decorations, giving the piece a sophisticated European character. The silhouette is graceful and architectural, featuring an elaborate crest, curved sides, and finely shaped feet, making it both an impressive decorative object and a functional timepiece. The white dial is framed by a bronze beaded border and features classic Roman numerals, enhancing the clock's traditional and refined appearance. The piece is signed Kienzle, one of the most renowned German clock manufacturers, and the maker’s mark is located on the back, behind the rear door. The brass pendulum is engraved with the number 3591, adding an appealing touch of originality and craftsmanship. Sophisticated, elegant, and full of old-world charm, this mantel clock is ideal for a classic interior, a refined library, a Parisian-style salon, or a warm and luxurious living room. Placed on a fireplace mantel, console table, or antique cabinet, it adds atmosphere, character, and a sense of timeless European elegance.

Rare 18th-century wooden cabinet in the style of Louis XV, fine French manufacture. The cabinet is made entirely of fine dark wood, four legs for support. The two legs at the front are more worked and thin, very important, those at the back have classic square strong dorma. The cabinet is developed in height rather than width. Centrally there is only one door all decorated with sinuous wood inlays and squiggly fretwork, very true to the French Baroque style. At the top we see a semi-curved frieze, which lends even more majesty to the product. Inside, it is all covered with antique pink wallpaper...
