Description
Discover the pinnacle of Italian craftsmanship with this stunning table clock from Barovier & Toso, designed by the celebrated Ercole Barovier. This exceptional piece showcases the artistry and elegance of mid-20th-century Murano glassmaking, highlighted by the sophisticated 'a torchon' technique, which intricately twists the glass to create a rope-like effect.

Crafted from the finest Murano glass, known for its luminous clarity and vibrant detail, the clock embodies a blend of tradition and innovation. It features a central clock encased in a brass frame, adding a luxurious touch to the delicate glass structure. The brass elements not only provide a protective surround but also contribute to the clock's overall aesthetic appeal, enhancing its visual impact.

The clock mechanism, nestled within this exquisite glasswork, is a testament to historical craftsmanship and requires calibration. On the back, the distinctive hallmark of Barovier & Toso confirms its authenticity and exceptional provenance, making this piece a coveted item among collectors and connoisseurs of fine glass art.

Ideal for those who appreciate the fusion of art and functionality, this Barovier & Toso table clock is more than just a timepiece; it is a symbol of Venetian heritage and artistic mastery. Whether placed in a sophisticated office, elegant living room, or as part of a curated collection, this clock promises to add a touch of timeless elegance and intrigue to any space.
