A late-20th-century desk clock carved in the form of an Egyptian-inspired obelisk, crafted from richly veined black marble with a polished finish and brass-toned clock surround. Minimal yet dramatic, the geometric silhouette gives the piece a sculptural presence that feels equally at home in a postmodern interior, a moody study, or a curated shelf display.
The dark stone surface is threaded with natural pale veining throughout, giving the clock depth and variation that catches beautifully in changing light. Its compact quartz movement (untested) and Roman numeral dial add a restrained classicism that contrasts elegantly with the bold architectural form.
More than simply functional, this is a decorative object with strong material presence — somewhere between desk accessory, sculpture, and late-century luxury décor.
Condition: Vintage condition with light surface wear and minor scratches consistent with age and use.
Mechanics: Quartz movement untested/working status unknown.
Dimensions: 5 × 5 × 16.5cm.
Production Period: Late 20th Century.
