An extraordinary, imposing, and very heavy table clock in the Art Deco style, made in France between the 1920s and 1930s. The piece stands out for its monumental and massive architectural base in solid polychrome marble (approximately 40 x 30 cm), characterized by a sophisticated geometric alternation of light veined bands, brown tones, and black marble sections. As evidenced by the partially legible period inscription on the dial ("Diamant Bl Lyon"), the piece comes from a historic and refined watchmaking workshop in the city of Lyon. Crowning the solid marble structure is a dynamic and ironic metal sculptural group, typical of the French anecdotal taste of the period: two cherubs captured in a playful moment, one playfully tugging at the other's robe. The extraordinary plasticity and attention to detail of the figures create a perfect contrast with the geometric rigor and majesty of the base. A piece of period furniture of the highest level, with great visual and material impact, perfect for embellishing fireplaces, large desks or important private collections.

This monumental piece features a stunning and massive architectural base made of solid polychrome marble (approx. 40 x 30 cm), showcasing a sophisticated geometric alternation of veined cream, brown, and deep black marble bands. The dial bears a partially legible antique signature reading "Diamant Bl Lyon", proving its premium provenance from a historic watchmaker in Lyon, France. The clock is crowned by a beautifully crafted metal sculptural group depicting a playful, narrative scene: two cherubs (putti) interacting, with one mischievously pulling the other's garment.
