I purchased this beautiful Art Deco Wall Clock extremely reasonably on EBay as a "Buy It Now", it was love at first sight. The clock has numerous inlays and carvings on the front of the clock case. Carved stylized oranges and their leaves grace each side of the clock amid arcs. The glass on the case door has gold ornamentation on it.
