Era / Decade
Late 1980s to Early 1990s based on the 'Golden Girls' aesthetic, pastel floral patterning, and quartz movement technology common in that era.
Material
Molded plastic frame with a gold-tone metallic finish, glass cover with white pinstripe 'floating dial' screen-printing, and a standard battery-operated quartz movement.
Condition
Very Good. The frame appears intact without major cracks; the glass is clear with minimal pinstripe loss. The hands are present but the movement functionality is unverified in the photo.
Demand Level
Moderate to Strong. There is a specific '80s-90s Vintage' home decor trend currently buoyed by the popularity of Florida-style and Postmodern kitsch.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy or eBay are best for vintage decor collectors. Facebook Marketplace is a good alternative to avoid shipping a large, fragile glass item.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like '80s Deco', 'Postmodern', 'Grandmillennial', and 'Floating Dial'. Be sure to show the clock working in a video if possible. Use double-boxing for shipping to protect the glass.
