A beautifully preserved postwar German wall clock by Mauthe, featuring a warm bentwood-style frame, softly sculptural atomic-era lines, and its original wrapped hanging cord detail.
Unlike many decorative midcentury clocks that have since been converted to battery operation, this one retains its original wind-up mechanical movement and chiming function — a large part of what gives pieces like this their character and presence.
The silhouette sits somewhere between streamlined postwar utility and early atomic-era optimism: softened corners, layered wood tones, raised numerals, and a quietly asymmetrical shape that feels distinctly European.
The wrapped cord hanger and brass wall mount detail make it feel almost jewelry-like on the wall.
A particularly good scale for smaller kitchens, entryways, reading corners, or layered gallery walls where a larger starburst clock might overwhelm the space.
Dimensions:
10”W × 20”H overall hanging height
Condition:
Good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear and patina consistent with age. Wind-up movement and chime functioning.
Pickup at Adelaide & Sherbourne, downtown Toronto. Delivery available throughout the GTA & beyond. Email sabrina@sunday-creative.com for rates.
