Art Deco General Electric Alencon Mantle Clock

Here is another General Electric, Machine Age clock in my collection, which I love. This demilune mantle clock measures approximately 16 1/2" x 7 1/2", and it was designed by John P. Rainbault, circa 1930's. It is model number 6H02, and is known as the "Alencon" model.

It was difficult to photograph because it is made of a semi-transparent rose colored glass with a mirrored pink center. The design in the center has been described as a floral motif, but I think it looks more like waves. The numerals are pure Art Deco.

This rare clock also comes in a cobalt blue version, and I think there is also a black glass version too.
