Description
A Chinese 'Double Happiness' Gingerbread Clock, Deshunxing
EARLY 20TH CENTURY
二十世紀初 喜字紋木樓鐘
標記:山東煙臺德順興造鈡厰
the ebonized carved wood case detailed with architectural gilt rocaille elements, all risen above a cantilevered base. The dial door painted with a 'double happiness' character amidst floral sprays. The dial with painted Arabic hours.
德順興是中國第一家民族鐘表工厰,由山東實業家、中國鐘表制造工業創始人李東山在1915年創建,1918年研製出中國第一批座鐘,本拍品即是在這樣的背景下生產的。1938年烟臺淪陷后,日軍要求入股德順興,遭到李東山强烈拒絕,結果日本憲兵隊羅織罪名抓走李的兒子。李東山本人在家庭和生意均受打擊的情況下,逐漸退出了經營管理。本座鐘錶雖然機芯和外觀不如西洋鐘錶精緻,但這一時期的歷史意義不可抹去。

Property from the Halim Time & Glass Museum, Evanston, Illinois
