Vintage Art Deco clock, 1930

Elegant Art Deco Table or Mantle clock from the 1930s, Hague School period. During the years between the two world wars a luxurious and modern style of design emerged that was termed the 'Hague School'. The style featured architectural forms, with Cubist shapes in furniture directly echoing those of contemporary buildings. Important influences included Berlage's idealism, traditional arts and crafts, the interiors of Frank Lloyd Wright and the avant-garde ideas of De Stijl. The result was a modern, commercial style of design. Reference : 297434
