Wooden mantel clocks for tabletops and Pendulum clocks to hang, all handcrafted, handmade in Florence.
° PINOCCHIO CLOCKS: Perfect children's clock, models inspired by the novel "The Adventures of Pinocchio", the most translated book in the world after religious texts.
We have created two types: ° "Abc": Very cute model with a full figure of Pinocchio, with legs dangling under the mechanism ... it's a joy to look at! ° "Novella": Model with the first page of the original book "Once upon a time... A King! my little readers will say right away..." The appearance is just like an old open book, and the sinuous flow of the lines of writing simulates the thickness of the book.
The "Novella" model is available in the following versions:
° tabletop with Pinocchio in relief sitting in front of the pages and holding a primer;
° wall-mounted with the puppet swinging on a swing with its legs in the air.
° COMMEDIA DELL'ARTE: These two models, both featuring Colombina, the oldest mask of the Commedia dell'Arte, are inspired by the characters of the Commedia dell'Arte.
Colombina is a housemaid (domestic helper), beautiful, clever, and mischievous, who takes advantage of her qualities by having fun driving Pantalone, her master, crazy.
The two wall models with Colombina are: ° Colombina dances the belly dance, swaying her large skirt. An absolutely exceptional gift for a dancer and for dance lovers, fun and amusing; ° Colombina who shows off her magician skills with Pantalone who struggles to find a hold in her heart. Very sweet for a newlywed couple and for theater lovers.
° COLIBRI' CLOCK, DANTE AND OTHER ORIGINALS: Clocks with very special and meaningful subjects to decorate a table, a shelf or a wall in a different way than usual.
° "The Divine Comedy" table clock with an image of an open book and the opening verses of Dante Alighieri's famous work "In the middle of the journey of our life ...". The clock is made even more precious by the decorative element of the Florentine Lily in aged wood. For lovers of Florence and ancient literature.
° "Hummingbird" wall clock featuring a composition of musical instruments and ribbons with a small and cute hummingbird fluttering below, all in inlay style. Very warm and soft colors, perfect for any type of environment and a sensational gift for music lovers.
° "Hot Air Balloon" pendulum clock in the shape of a large and romantic hot air balloon with a girl leaning out of the swinging basket. The ideal gift to make travelers and dreamers of all ages dream.

The clocks are made from 6mm poplar plywood cut one at a time with a fretsaw, featuring traditional antique images or fascinating and original designs of our own creation. The back is colored using traditional techniques for a timeless effect like antique clocks. The prints are natural, with UV protection. The electronic movement mechanism is placed on the back, powered by an AA battery (included in the package).
On the back of each item is affixed the stamp of our brand and the Hand-Made-in-Florence certification.

Table Clocks and Pendulum Clocks
In our Florence shop you will find antique-style clocks for all tastes. Each piece is handmade, built in wood and crafted using the ancient methods of Tuscan tradition. The clock has always been a decorative element in Tuscan homes, a tradition to be continued even now with the advent of telephones and electronic clocks. The charm of moving hands is timeless, and the beauty of an elegant and refined decorative element on your wall will end up being as pleasant as a painting. All the clocks we produce have a Renaissance charm and style, from the small, uniquely shaped hands to the subjects and the choice of colors, which are very soft and delicate.
The Clock as a Gift
An elegant clock decorated with artistic or literary motifs will certainly be appreciated by an artist, writer, or historian. These are all objects that fit perfectly both in modern and antique-style homes and studios, but above all, they are perfect for those who want to give their home a touch of cheerfulness and freshness. The Hot Air Balloon clock with the refinement of its decorated balloon will be the perfect gift for girls and women as a wish for well-being and freedom. Pinocchio is always a unique collector's item sweet and unexpected, an object that will surely be appreciated by both an adult and a child. They are certainly all an excellent idea for furnishing a bedroom or living room with a very original and useful piece.
