This is a large and impressive vintage wall clock, skillfully crafted in the shape of the map of Vietnam. The clock is a beautiful example of traditional Vietnamese lacquerware, with a deep, glossy finish. It is intricately detailed with mother-of-pearl inlay, marking the cities of Hà Nội, Huế, and Sài Gòn with small landmarks. The clock face is particularly unique, featuring the twelve animals of the Vietnamese zodiac in place of numbers, each rendered in iridescent shell.
Measuring a substantial 22.25 inches tall by 14 inches wide, this clock is a true statement piece of wall decor. It is a wonderful conversation starter and a beautiful way to celebrate Vietnamese culture and artistry. This would be a meaningful gift for someone of Vietnamese heritage, a collector of unique timepieces, or anyone who appreciates global folk art.
The clock is in good working order. Please note that the red seconds hand shows some minor paint loss, and there is a crack in the plastic battery holder on the back which does not affect its function.
This item is vintage, over 20 years old. while it appears to be in good condition there may be minor imperfections that I missed.
