Seth Thomas Art Deco Desk Clock

This item is an Art Deco style desk or mantel clock, likely manufactured by Seth Thomas, based on the design and typical products from that era and brand. The clock features an octagonal case surrounding the face, mounted on a substantial, elongated trapezoidal base. The case and base appear to be constructed from a metal casting, possibly bronze or patinated brass, exhibiting a warm, antiqued brown finish with highlights on the raised details. Two elegant, curved supports connect the clock case to the base, adding to the Art Deco aesthetic. The clock face is square with rounded corners within the octagonal case and has a light-colored background with black Arabic numerals and minute markers. The hands are simple, spade-shaped. Decorative elements include embossed or raised patterns on the top of the octagonal case and along the front edge and sides of the base, consistent with the geometric and stylized motifs of the Art Deco period. The overall condition visible in the image appears good, with a visible patina consistent with age and material. There are no obvious signs of major damage or repairs, though surface wear and minor scratches may be present. The design suggests an age likely falling between the 1920s and 1940s. The craftsmanship appears to be of reasonable quality for a mass-produced item of this type, with clearly defined casting details. While no specific maker's marks are clearly visible in the image, the style strongly suggests a Seth Thomas Art Deco clock, possibly a model from their 200 series as suggested by the context.
