The Echo of Deco mantel clock designs form an important part of our overall studio collection. When designing a new clock we initially focus on a particular idea or theme. From this starting point the next stage is to work out a design that incorporates the spirit of the idea while maintaining an elegant simplicity in keeping with the Art Deco style. It normally takes several months to develop a new Echo of Deco design and much of the creative work draws on a combination of experience and intuition. As with practically all fine Art Deco design the simplest ideas are often the best, though nearly always the hardest to attain.  A selection of our current work can be purchased online from our amazon and etsy shops.

The inspiration for this distinctive timepiece comes from combining the aspirant feeling of the roaring twenties with the exciting Art Deco skyline of Manhattan, New York. Due to the limited space available and booming economy higher and higher skyscrapers were being built in New York during the first years of the 20th Century. These tall structures were of such a size and proximity that they blocked out the daylight reaching the streets below, reducing the general quality of life for the cities inhabitants. In 1916 a zoning law was passed in certain districts, which restricted a buildings height to its plot size. As a result the high rise skyscrapers built during the 1920's and 30's were creatively designed to be stepped back in accordance with the new  law.  This is the reason the city of Manhattan has its distinctive Architecture and iconic Art Deco skyline. Our Manhattan mantel clock incorporates this idea with its characteristic layered fan design.

The height of our Manhattan mantel clock is approximately 14cm by 13cm wide.  Price £55
