Passementerie Clock - Midnight

PASSEMENTERIE (pass-mont-ree)

A wooden face, structurally sound, doing the honest work of holding an hour. Tassels decadent in their impracticality. All the symbolism of Art Deco excess, built from wood, cotton and a little metal.

Decadence made entirely of modest things. Nouveau pauvre.

Midnight — Solid stained wood, metal hands.
