    A gift, claimed to be antique. Any ideas on origin based upon style?

    1920's or so, mix of Deco and "Milady" / Rosenkavalier styles.

    Any manufacture name on the clock?
    I'm thinking 1940s - 50s.

    Classic Deco, but the 18th c. woman figure is odd for sure. Pulling the back cover to examine the movement will tell you a lot.

    Is yours marble/onyx as well?

    The Woman is the wrong time period for the gazelle and style of clock. Overall it just looks weird for an Art Deco clock.

    The one flipper shows, I'm wondering if this didn't originate in Mexico.

    Yours has a different face. Is the material onyx as well?

    That is a very strange combo..... the "Gazelle" would be much more at home with an African Hunter.....

    No, that gazelle would be much more at home with an Art Deco flapper!
