My new massive art deco clock with garnitures. The clockface underneath the "6" and the clock movement are marked UCRA. The clock has an 8 day movement. The clock is 15.75" long, 10.25" tall and 4" deep. The garnitures are 5" long, 7" tall, and 3 inches deep.
UCRA was a French clock making company, which operated at the beginning of the 20th century. UCRA was particularly known for vibrantly colorful, high quality marble garniture mantle clock sets.
A beautiful addition to my collection.
