Every so often, a piece comes along that makes you wonder why they ever stopped making things this interesting.
This unusual vintage German piece takes the form of an elegant miniature grandfather clock, finished in deep black with warm brass detailing and an ornate Roman numeral clock face.
But thereโs much more hiding behind its stately appearance.
The lower front panel opens to reveal a concealed cigarette holder compartment, while the piece also incorporates a mechanical music box.
The music box is working perfectly and adds another wonderfully nostalgic element to an already fascinating object.
The mechanical clock and alarm mechanism currently require repair and are being sold as such.
For someone who enjoys restoring vintage mechanisms, this could make an especially rewarding little project, while the piece remains incredibly decorative even without the clock in operation.
Finding an example combining a clock, music box and hidden cigarette compartment is certainly unusual, particularly one that has survived in such lovely overall condition.
There are some small signs of age and wear visible in the photographs, adding to its genuine vintage character.
Whether displayed on a desk, bookshelf, drinks cabinet or amongst a collection of mechanical curiosities, this is one of those wonderfully eccentric vintage objects that people cannot resist asking about.
PRICE: โฌ55.00
