Carved and painted by hand in the 1920s, this wooden clock hutch wears its face like a stage mask—half lion, half mythological guardian, all attitude. With piercing painted eyes, rippling mane-like sides, and a wide circular opening where a clock once sat, it’s equal parts practical housing and conversation-starting sculpture. The carved crosshatch work around the mouth adds a surprising touch of texture and craftsmanship, giving the whole thing a fierce but slightly theatrical edge. It was originally designed to cradle a timepiece, but even without the clock it’s a striking work of folk art. Whether you see a lion, a watchful beast, or a guardian spirit.
Measures: W 15" x D 4" x H 11"
