The
inspiration for this stylish mantle clock comes from the Italian
pioneer of radio, Guglielmo Marconi. Marconi's work in the development
of wireless radio was quite literally a quantum leap in the field
of human communication, contributing greatly to the advancement
of the modern world. The design of the Marconi '1' shows the first
experimental radio waves being transmitted across the Atlantic in
1901. The three angled lines in the middle of the clock symbolise
radio signals radiating outwards from the 'V' shape transmitter
into the ether. By the 1920's wireless radio was regularly being
broadcast into millions of homes and providing entertainment in
a completely new way. This piece has been finished in Echo Of Deco's
own Mahogany Flame glaze, but is also available in many of the studio's
other unique glaze colours. |
