Description
Large and stunningly figural Egyptian design, style marble clock garniture, circa 1920.
If you are looking for a statement piece for your mantel and you have an interest in worldly subject matters in general and in the history and culture of Egypt in particular then this 'grand clock' from the European Art Deco era could be yours to own and enjoy soon. All hand-crafted with some of the most expensive materials and techniques that money could buy in the 1920s this amazing clock really portrays what French artisans were capable of creating in those days. Looking at this antique tells you that time and money really seemed not to be an object in those days. Using the most beautiful marble and decorating it with perfectly gilt bronze sculptures, it really makes this a statement piece. Have you also noticed the perfectly white enameled and hand-painted dial face and original dials? They too are of museum quality and condition and so too is the circular bronze door with the beveled glass windown. The two Egyptian, Cleopatra-like female figures in gilt bronze are standing leisurely upon the rectangular footed base and with their arms stretched-out above it is as if they, together with the four marble columns, too are supporting the striking marble part with the clock's movement inside and the gilt bronze Sphinx sculpture on top. The two figural garnitures too come with gilt bronze females that are supporting marble dish-like vessels. Maybe it is the artist's way of saying that women played a very important role in the grand history and culture of Egypt. This striking clock even comes with a decorated, gilt bronze pendulum weight and the key for winding both the clock and striking mechanism. This work of beauty comes with a truly perfect working, eight day, mint brass clock mechanism that runs as smoothly as can be and it strikes an elegant bell sound on the halves and whole hours.
If you already have a place in mind for this stunning Art Deco clock then she could be gracing your home soon. Mind you, our price for this rare and meaningful clock even includes perfect packing and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 3 to 6 workdays.
Maximum width x height x depth: 14.4 x 26.3 x 5.5 inches.
Maximum width x height x depth side pieces: 7.9 x 13.6 x 5.6 inches.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
