DetailsFOR SALE ☞ 1920's De Luxe Mantle Clock by Lux Clock Mfg. Co.
DESCRIPTION ☞ This handsome plug-in De Luxe Ribbon Mantle clock was made by the Lux clock Mfg Co sometime in the late 1920s based on the fact that in 1930, the Lux Clock Company ceased using the word "De Luxe" on their clock faces.
The clock is made of a dark wood and has red accent paint throughout. The clock face has "De Luxe" written in a diamond in the center, with the manufacturer's mark written along the bottom. The reverse side of the clock has two knobs -- one knob is a starter assist to get the clock's second hand moving when the clock is initially plugged in. The other knob is to adjust the minute and hour hands. All knobs and clock are working at the time of posting. Comes with original electrical cord and plug.
DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT ☞ Approx : :L 8 Inch H 10.5 inch. Clock has decent weight to it, being made of wood.
CONDITION ☞ The condition of this clock is good considering it's age. It does show signs of wear, which is consistent with its age and prior use. Mechanically, the clock did perform as desired when we plugged it in. We gave it a moment to warm up, and gently used the assist knob on the back. Plugged in for an hour, it proceeded to keep time. Please see the listing video. The original cord and plug are still attached and work without fault, however the fabric covering on the cord has mostly worn off.
The exterior of the front of the clock does have some paint faded from the years. This only serves to lend a beautiful patina that captures the essence of late Art Nouveau style. The clock face and glass is not scratched, and all lettering and numbers on the clock are crisp and clean! On the reverse of the clock where some black paint has flaked off.
We suggest that if the buyer is planning on using the item on a regular basis, that the clock be regularly serviced, oiled and even possibly rewired to current 2022 electrical standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept returns?
For EU & UK buyers: As required by consumer law, most online purchases can be cancelled within 14 days of delivery. Certain exceptions apply (antiques, collectibles, items sold “for parts/repair”). Buyer pays return shipping, and refunds are issued only after the item is received and verified in its original condition.
For buyers outside the EU/UK (e.g. USA, Canada): All sales are considered final. Returns are not accepted except in cases of significant misrepresentation.Do you accept exchanges?
No. All of our items are considered one-offs and unique so we can not offer exchanges at this time.
Will I have to pay extra customs or duty fees if I’m in the U.S.?
We ship all U.S. orders using the most reliable method available. Some items (especially antiques over 100 years old or U.S.-made goods) are tariff-exempt under current rules. For other items, we do our best to pre-pay duties and include them in the price (known as DDP — Delivered Duty Paid) so what you see at checkout is what you’ll pay.
What does “DDP” mean?
DDP stands for Delivered Duty Paid. It means we take care of the customs paperwork and fees on our end whenever possible. That way, your package clears the border smoothly and you won’t get a surprise bill on delivery.
Are there any exceptions?
Most antiques and U.S.-made vintage items ship duty-free. European pieces are usually covered by DDP (we pre-pay the duty and build it into the price). Canadian-made vintage can sometimes carry higher tariffs; in those rare cases, we’ll either adjust the listing price to reflect the duty or let you know up front if extra charges could apply. If you have any concerns regarding tariffs, please message us prior to purchase and we would be happy to do some research for you!
What happens if customs does charge extra?
We’re transparent about this from the start: buyers are responsible for any customs/import fees that may apply. That said, we always do our best to minimize the risk by using the right codes and carriers. If you have questions about a specific item, message us before checkout and we’ll give you an honest answer about what to expect.
Why do some Canadian shops say “buyer is responsible for duty”?
That’s Etsy’s default policy. We go a step further by explaining how duties work and when we can cover them. Our goal is to make your buying experience smooth and surprise-free.
