This mantle clock with two candelabra, designed by Dutch architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage around 1900, is a striking example of Art Nouveau style. The clock features a circular face with Roman numerals and a delicate floral motif on the base, all crafted in brass and set against a green enamel background. The piece is characterized by its sleek lines, intricate details, and use of organic forms, typical of the Art Nouveau movement. The clock is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

The design of this ensemble is sober and rational, the distinctive style of the influential Dutch architect Berlage. Connecting elements, such as rivets, are clearly visible and accentuate both the construction and the form. The broad, splayed feet resemble the base of the Eiffel Tower, completed in 1889, which was the shining example of engineering of its time.
