UNIQUE Antique 20th Century brass clock-case conversion into interchangeable picture frame with custom mirror

and other inserts

$245

The case itself most likely dates from the early 20th Century, and features a blend of neo-classical and gothic elements – cherubs, garlands, pierced galleries, columns, torches and a floral finial.

It’s now become the sort of decorative item you’d see in the best interior design books and magazines. You’ll be asked ‘wow – where did you get that?’.

This has been achieved by creating two customised inserts that either allow this to be enjoyed as a:

- Mirror
- Picture frame (there are three quirky examples which come provided, but you could easily make your own)

This flexibility, combined with the incredible patina of the case is a truly one-off statement piece. Would suit your warehouse apartment, converted church, castle or business. And you could always restore it back to a clock if desired.
