RARE Antique WW1 Polish Blue Army Clock J.J. Uszynski NJ Art Deco Nouveau Read

eBay This listing is for a RARE Antique WW1 Polish Clock By J.J. Uszynski in New Jersey, with a great Art Deco / Nouveau style all around. This clock was made to honor Haller's Blue Army: Across the top of clock is the Cross of Polish Soldiers from America (Krzyz Zolnierzy Polskich z Ameryki). The cross was instituted by order of Jozef Pilsudski in 1920 to honor Polish volunteers from Canada and the United States who came to Poland to defend the newly emerged Republic. It has a brass plated metal case with a fantastic art deco / art nouveau design packed with details and symbolism. More on the symbols in the next paragraph. It is in close to working condition, see further down for exact details. With minimal tinkering it would likely work great. It is an excellent and very hard to find item for collectors, display / decor, gifting, and more. On the clock you can see a bronze arrow / cross with flames between the arms which is holding the names of the places where American volunteers were present; SZAMPANIA (Champagne) : LWOW (Lviv) : WOLYN (Volyn : POMORZE (Pomerania). The arms themselves bear the following inscription SWOIM ZOLNIERZOM Z AMERYKI OSWOBO DZONA POLSKA - (The Liberated Poland To Her Soldiers From America). The Haller Army, the Blue Army (Blekitna Armia), and also as the Polish Legion in France. The Blue Army (they wore horizon blue French uniforms) were the Polish-American contribution to the forces on the western front in WWI. Made up of volunteers of recent Polish immigrants to the United States, they initially fought under the French, but they later fought in the name of Poland and for the ultimate goal of Polish independence. By the war's end this force was officially recognized as the independent Polish Army, led by General Jozef Haller. It is in good condition for its age. It currently is not steadily running, sometimes when moved it will start up but stops shortly after. I suspect the reason for this is a bad timing spring, if you look in the photos it has a replaced pin to hold the tension, and it looks like it was damaged in the process. It really wants to run, and I believe with the mere replacement of that spring, it would function perfectly. The minute hand is included but detached, I have not tried to re-attach it for fear of causing damage, the hour hand may be loose too. I have not seen any other missing or damaged components. Case has some wear in places, but a nice patina. I have not cleaned it overly to avoid damage to the patina and plating. The paper or early cardboard face has some damage, it looks like it got wet at one point. It would likely still work fine, but could be replaced. Thank you for your consideration, reasonable offers aways considered. Comes as shown, please see photos for details and measurements. Comes packed with care insured in shipment.

It wasn’t until the 19th and 20th centuries that clocks evolved at an exceedingly swift rate, resulting in greater accuracy, more refined designs, and more frequent appearances in people’s homes. In both the United States and internationally astrological, tall-case, year-long runners, and skeleton clocks are in demand. “E. Howard and Seth Thomas are two of the bigger names that collectors are seeking out right now, Buyers of antique and vintage clocks today range from collectors who own hundreds of them, to the retail buyers who’ve been looking for the right grandfather clock to display in their living room. “Collectors pay close attention to rarity and condition, For early American clocks, they look for original glass tablets, original painted dials, and the original finish or actual wood case. With European clocks, specialists tend to be a bit more forgiving in terms of condition because it has more to do with the movements and gears. A replaced gear on a European clock, for example, may be more acceptable than a replaced tablet or dial on an American clock. Important 19th-Century Styles By the 19th century, recognizable innovations and styles began to emerge across Europe. In France, for example, clocks were fitted with extravagant cases mirroring trends in interior design, and by 1850 carriage clocks decorated with Limoges enamel, porcelain, and gilt metal were becoming exceedingly popular. Meanwhile, Germany specialized in making affordable brass and wooden clocks, most notably cuckoo clocks, which were made in the Black Forest region and exported across Europe. Skeleton clocks were the characteristic choice for British households, churches, and government buildings, as were clocks decorated with Gothic-inspired cases and architectural elements, exemplified most famously by Big Ben. Antique Vienna and English clocks from 1780 to 1920, the most famous and collectible makers produced clocks between 1700 and 1890. “This was the great era of clockmaking, and a time that sparked lots of novelties and inventions in clock movements and cases. Important 20th-Century Styles Twentieth century clocks typically drew inspiration from earlier styles, although the U.S. made, electrically powered “Eureka” clock is especially indicative of the years leading up to the First World War. The heyday of clock manufacturing took place in the first half of the century, and by the 1950s clocks became increasingly minimalistic in design, reflecting developments in modern art and architecture. Today, clocks are available at a wide range of prices, styles, and sizes, evidencing the long-lived history of these highly valued, sophisticated timekeeping devices High end valuable clocks tend to be handmade, rare, or limited edition pieces made or decorated with precious materials, such as gold, diamonds, rubies, mother of pearl enamel, porcelain, and high-quality wood. Clocks made by important designers, like Abraham Louis Breguet, or reputable manufacturing companies, like Ansonia, are also highly prized as premium collectible pieces. Antique Wall Clocks Wall clocks, which were first made during the 16th and 17th centuries, are among the earliest styles of clocks designed for display within the home. They not only tell time but also serve as sculptural works of art adorning the room. One of the most fashionable styles of antique wall clocks is the Ansonia hanging clock, made by Ansonia Clock Company, which originated in Ansonia, Connecticut in 1851 and moved to Brooklyn, New York in 1878. Ansonia clocks are usually made of a combination of brass and high-quality wood and decorated with ornately executed designs, such as mini-friezes, classicizing figures, and floral and geometric designs inspired by ancient Greek architecture. Bidermeier clocks, made in Germany and Austria between 1815 and 1848, are another popular type of antique wall clock. Produced primarily for a burgeoning middle class knowledgable of the value of furniture and interior design, Bidermeier clocks exhibit simple yet elegant features. One of the main identifying characteristics of this refined style is the juxtaposition between the sleek, straight lines of the clock’s torso and the delicate curves of the baroque and gothic motifs decorating the upper and lower portions of the case. Vintage Mantel Clocks Mantel clocks were first made in France and were typically placed above the fireplace alongside vases or sculptural figurines. Also known as chamber clocks, early mantel clocks oftentimes had handles, enhancing their practical function as portable timekeeping devices that could be easily picked up and moved from mantel to bookshelf to tabletop; however, later versions departed from this design. Vintage mantel clocks, especially those made during the Art Deco period and mid-century, are valued today for their simple yet elegant geometric designs. Antique Cuckoo Clocks Cuckoo clocks were first made during the 18th century in the Black Forest region of southwestern Germany, although they also have a long history in Switzerland and Austria. These clocks are of course famous for the automaton cuckoo bird that moves in tandem with musical notes each time the clock strikes the hour. Cuckoo clocks are prized for their lively, interactive quality and handmade, intricately carved designs. Antique versions are typically decorated with forest and hunting scenes and include animal motifs, most notably hounds, deer, rabbits, pheasants, and other woodland creatures. Antique Grandfather Clocks Grandfather clocks are named after the 1876 song “My Grandfather’s Clock” (“My grandfather’s clock was too large for the shelf, So it stood ninety years on the floor”). Also called long-case, tall-case clocks, and floor clocks, grandfather clocks are freestanding, weight-driven pendulum clocks, often outfitted with elaborate ornamentation, especially on the hood of the case. Invented by the English clockmaker William Clement in 1670, the grandfather clock quickly became popular across Europe and assumed a variety of forms. American grandfather clocks, such as those made in 19th-century New England, are usually eight feet tall and exhibit a wide, sturdy base, whereas French clocks often have slim bodies and flat or slightly rounded hoods. Many antique grandfather clocks include highly detailed metal dials illustrating the passage of the sun and phases of the moon. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
