SOLD $761.00 Sold: Oct 26, 2024 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
Gilbert Rohde designed ebony and chrome Art Deco electric clock, model #6366 - often referred to as the "Tide" clock - manufactured by the Herman Miller Clock Company circa 1932. The Macassar ebony veneer features a bold grain that accentuates its sleek, horizontal design, as does the single chrome rib that wraps the width of the clock. It's a gorgeous, heavy piece, but it sits on a recessed chrome base that gives it the impression that it's floating. Frequently featured in design books, art museums, and auctions as a stunning example of design from the period.This specific clock was given away as the 1st prize for the 10th Annual Speedboat Regatta in 1938 by the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor, NJ.Veneer has chips on both the left and right side. A few minor scuffs scratches on top/face of wood.Front dial is in relatively fantastic condition, and chrome is generally clean all around.Clock is non-functioning at present; power cord is original and frayed in places, but still works. Best guess is that the movement needs to be repaired and/or lubricated. Time set dial in the rear of clock still works manually.Item is 16.75" wide x 6.25" high x 3.25" deep.This piece is sold as-is, as shown, so please carefully review the photos and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! There is no guarantee of accuracy with it keeping time, should you have it repaired. Item is fragile - will be packed and shipped extremely safely to keep the clock in optimal condition! Thanks for looking!Beau @ Powerplant Collectibles (Condition: Parts Only)
