c. 1930s-1940s; Sessions Clock Co. - Forestville, CT
Figural electric mantel clock with polychrome painted female form and geometric case.
This striking Art Deco timepiece combines streamlined architecture with playful figural design. The clock features a fluted, stepped case with a circular dial accented by gilt numerals and hands, set beside a sculptural female figure draped in a painted green wrap. The movement, produced by the Sessions Clock Company of Forestville, Connecticut, anchors the piece within a lineage of American clockmaking widely known for electric and spring-driven clocks in the early 20th century.
