Vintage Wooden Mantle Clock with Cork Inlay Face

This item is a small, rectangular wooden mantle or desk clock featuring a distinctive cork-textured dial. The outer casing is constructed from dark-stained wood, possibly pine or a similar soft wood, finished with a glossy lacquer that shows minor surface wear and small abrasions consistent with age. The clock face is set apart by its circular inlay of pressed cork, which provides a unique mid-century modern aesthetic. On this cork surface, Roman numerals and decorative concentric borders are printed or heat-stamped in black ink. The hands are black, ornate, and spade-tipped, currently positioned at approximately four o'clock. The construction suggests a mass-produced decorative piece from the mid-to-late 20th century, likely the 1970s given the material choices. The overall condition appears fair, with visible dust accumulation, some peeling or lifting of the cork surface near the edges, and slight misalignment of the inner face panel within the outer wooden frame. No maker’s marks are visible on the front, but the simple joinery indicates a standard consumer-grade item rather than high-end artisan craftsmanship.
