Arnel’s Porcelain Victorian Wall Clock with Cherubs

Sumptuous and romantic, this vintage Arnel’s wall clock turns timekeeping into ornament. Cast in porcelain with a glossy peach-pink glaze, the design revels in Victorian flourish—scrolls, roses, and two playful cherubs framing the dial—while a modern quartz movement keeps everyday time with a simple AA battery.

Made during America’s late-20th-century ceramics boom, when Arnel’s molds powered studio workshops across the country, the piece blends Hollywood Regency glamour with cottage-sweet color. It’s a rare survivor in this palette and scale—lovely over a vanity, in a dressing room, or as a whimsical focal point in a gallery wall.
