Trench Art Propeller Mantle Clock
A base with an art-deco feel sets off a truly charming little clock with a sense of history. Most probably designed by an airplane engineer at a time when aluminium was only used for engines and small parts. Battery included.
During the Great War, from 1914-18, a new kind of art flourished. Hand crafted creations from gifted soldiers and army personnel became known as trench art. They used whatever material was at hand. Bullet shells, wood, and fabric etc, during an era when planes were built from fabric on a frame. Popular fabrications included lighters and clocks made in all shapes and sizes. Our aluminium propeller clock was probably designed by an airplane engineer at a time when aluminium was only used for engines and small parts.
Also has an alarm function
