Grand Hotel Antiqued Mirrored Wall Clock
Unbranded (likely Uttermost, Pier 1, or Kirklands) · Art & Decor > Wall Clocks
Era / Decade
2010s Modern Decor (manufactured to look vintage/antique)
Material
Glass mirror face with foxing effect, metal spade hands, and MDF or plastic backing frame with a quartz battery movement.
Condition
Good. The intentional distressing (foxing) is part of the design, but there are visible scuffs on the spade hands and potential light surface scratches on the glass.
Demand Level
Moderate. While large clocks were a massive trend in the late 2010s, decorative wall clocks are currently a steady but slower-moving category compared to smaller unique vintage items.

Comparable Sales
Similar mirrored hotel-style clocks have sold on Mercari and eBay for $40-$70; however, local sales on Marketplace typically hover around $30 for unbranded decor versions.
Description
Large decorative wall clock featuring an antiqued mirror face with high-contrast Roman numerals and a central 'Grand Hotel' crown motif. The glass is treated with a faux-mercury glass finish to provide a vintage Parisian or Shabby Chic aesthetic. Features black ornate spade-style metal hands and requires one AA battery.
Key Features
Large scale for impact, trendy 'Grand Hotel' branding, mirrored surface that adds light to a room, and a versatile transitional design suitable for farmhouse or glam interiors.
Authenticity Indicators
Mass-produced decor item. Confidence is high that this is a contemporary retail piece rather than a genuine antique hotel artifact due to the modern quartz movement and printed graphics.
Flaws to Note
Minor finish wear on the hands; the antiquing on the glass is faux (printed/chemically applied) rather than natural age; check battery compartment for corrosion.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or local consignment. Shipping a large glass item is high-risk and expensive, often exceeding the value of the item itself.
Selling Tips
Highlight the 'shabby chic' and 'Parisian' keywords. Photograph against a neutral wall to avoid distracting reflections. Always confirm it is in working order in the listing. Use local pickup to maximize your margin.
