Kienzle Automatic Mantle Clock (Germany) 1970s

Kienzle Automatic Mantle Clock
Midcentury German design
Dimensions: 15 × 14 cm
Condition: Excellent working order, boxed, with new wooden lid

A beautifully minimal midcentury mantle clock by Kienzle, one of Germany’s oldest and most respected clockmakers. This model features a brushed silvered dial, fine linear hour markers, and slender black hands - all enclosed within a domed glass front that gives the clock a soft, architectural presence.

The circular face is supported by two dark, angular metal feet with an oxidised finish, giving the piece a sculptural balance. It has a quiet, understated elegance that sits comfortably in both modern and midcentury interiors.

This example comes in its box, complete with a newly made wooden lid, and is in full working order.
