The type you might see in a rail or transport station in England, Across Europe, or America.

Octagonal shape, entirely original, showing light patina but still bright.

Black on white, without hands, case or movement - dial only.

LARGE size - 24" by 24", eight sided.

Unfinished back and unsigned.

Artisan touches all-around...definitely a one-off.

Likely Art Deco / Art Nouveau era.

In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...

My husband loves watches and clocks as you may have observed in our listings. I know form experience - thankfully! - that a cool clock face can make for a very cool piece of decor, particularly when it has genuine age, patina, and artisan touches.

This one has all that - especially in a cool octagonal shape.

And - he suggests - if you wanted to source an amazing set of antique hands, and mount a simple modern quartz movement to the back, you could craft your own retro-mod clock for a song. Cool idea!

We also have a friend who would paint a scene on an antique like this...time flying, the iconic person trying to slow time...another fun option! See less
