Whale Wall Clock Appraisal

Whale and Bubbles Themed Wall Clock with Pendulum

This unique wall clock features a rectangular, metallic grey face, likely made of patinated or brushed metal, measuring approximately 12 to 18 inches in height and 6 to 10 inches in width. The surface of the clock face has a subtle, mottled appearance with small, irregular indentations or raised dots scattered across it, resembling air bubbles. At the top center of the clock face, minimalist gold-colored hour and minute hands are present, emanating from a small, black central hub; there is no second hand visible. Below the clock mechanism, a stylized, brass-toned whale tail fin is affixed to the surface, creating a focal point. Below and around the whale tail, several translucent, ring-shaped elements, resembling bubbles, are arranged, contributing to the aquatic theme. A prominent feature of this clock is its pendulum, which appears to be constructed from a single piece of bent metal, possibly stainless steel or chrome-plated metal. The pendulum rod extends downwards from the clock’s base, terminating in a large, T-shaped handle that serves as the pendulum’s bob. One end of this T-handle swivels at 90 degrees, suggesting it might also function as a key for winding or setting the clock, or simply an aesthetic choice. The overall condition appears good, with a deliberate aged or industrial aesthetic evident in the metal finishes, suggesting a modern or contemporary style, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. No visible damage or extensive wear is apparent, and the craftsmanship suggests it is a decorative, artisan-made piece rather than mass-produced. The construction implies a sturdy build with a focus on a clean, thematic design.
