Bulova Mid-Century Modern Style Brass Mantle Clock
This is a vintage-style Bulova quartz mantle clock featuring a round, gold-toned (likely brass or brass-plated metal) circular frame. The clock is supported by three slender tapered legs with ball feet and topped with a decorative circular ring finial. The face of the clock is distinctive for its 'floating' design, where the internal movement and central dial are suspended between two circular glass or acrylic panels, providing a clear view of the wall behind it. The central gold dial includes thin radiating lines and a minimalist layout, marked with the 'BULOVA' name and 'QUARTZ' below the center post, along with the Bulova tuning fork logo. The hands are tapered with a matching gold finish. Regarding condition, the metal frame and legs show visible surface wear, including light scratching, tarnishing, and some pitting consistent with age and use. The glass shows some smudging and surface dust. It appears to be an electric model, as a black power cord is visible emerging from the lower rear. The style is heavily influenced by 1960s-1970s mid-century modern design, known for its geometric transparency and polished metallic finishes.
