Guillerme et Chambron standing clock with earthenware decoration by Danikowski 1950s

Guillerme and Chambron floor clock with faience decoration by Danikowski, 1950s. France, for Votre Maison, in ceramic and solid oak. Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron, a highly influential furniture duo from the 1950s to the late 1970s, co-founded the Votre Maison workshop. Guillerme created the forms, Chambron oversaw marketing, and together they locally produced avant-garde pieces that blended functionality and sculptural expression. The grandfather clock is an emblematic example: made around 1960–70, often in patinated oak, it incorporates a ceramic dial (Danikowski signature). Boleslaw Danikowski (1928–1979), trained at the Beaux-Arts in Lille, set up as a potter and ceramist in the North of France. He collaborated closely with Guillerme & Chambron to adorn their furniture with unique ceramic touches. Rare solid oak clock (work attributable to the Guillerme & Chambron aesthetic) adorned with a green glazed earthenware head by Danikowski. Mid-century piece (circa 1955-65), in excellent condition, with a very decorative contrast: warmth of the carved oak / glazed shine of the ceramic. The earthenware face brings the artistic touch typical of Votre Maison X Danikowski collaborations; the whole is both a useful object and a sculptural element, perfect for a high-end vintage interior. Coming from the same body of creations combining oak cabinetmaking and ceramics by Danikowski, highly prized for its unique character. Dimensions: HT 208 W LRG 110 D 35. Reference: 1889.
