The
inspiration for this stylish wall 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 '2' shows the first
experimental radio waves being transmitting across the Atlantic
in 1901. The three curved lines in the middle of the clock symbolise
radio signals radiating outwards from the 'V' shape transmitter
into space. 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 Turquoise
Crackle glaze, but is also available in many of the studio's other
unique glaze colours |
