EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Mantel Clock, created by American artist Frank Wenger around 1938, showcases the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The clock, with its ornate carvings and multicolored design, is a stunning example of the decorative arts movement that flourished during this period. Frank Wenger, a master of hand carving and woodworking, expertly crafted this functional work of art using brown, hand-carved wood. The clock's intricate design features an eagle perched atop a branch, surrounded by a myriad of geometric shapes and patterns. The eagle, a symbol of power and freedom, adds a sense of grandeur to the already impressive timepiece. The clock's dial, with its simple yet elegant design, contrasts beautifully with the intricate carvings on the clock's body. The clock face is framed by a multi-colored border, adding a pop of color to the otherwise brown wooden clock. This Mantel Clock is not just a timekeeper but also a work of art, a testament to the skill and creativity of Frank Wenger. The use of watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite on paperboard in the illustration of this piece further highlights the artist's attention to detail and mastery of various mediums. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is home to this precious object, which serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 20th century. The clock's placement on a mantelpiece or any decorative space would add a touch of elegance and sophistication, making it a prized possession for any art lover or collector.
