Description:
This is a small decorative table clock in a Victorian Revival style, most likely made in the late 20th or early 21st century. The clock is mounted in a circular case set atop a sloped base decorated with colorful enamel, gold-tone details, and glass cabochons imitating gemstones. The use of Roman numerals for the dial and ornate scrolling floral motifs are indicative of the Victorian aesthetic, though the construction suggests a more recent manufacture, likely as a decorative or souvenir piece. The piece appears to be made from composite materials, possibly resin or a type of pot metal, with painted and gilt detailing.
