Status: Sold

E. Ingraham Co. of Bristol, Connecticut manufactured this oak "gingerbread" style mantel clock, as marked on the movement, with the original paper label affixed to the back panel identifying the model as "The Royal," distributed by Jonce Bros & Co., Eight Day Half Hour Strike. The case features a scroll-carved crest with a central rosette medallion, basketweave-carved side panels, and a stepped base with additional foliate carving along the front skirt. The glass door has a decorative reverse-painted panel in black and gilt depicting an urn and scrollwork motif surrounding the arched dial opening. Inside, the movement retains its original white painted metal dial with black Roman numerals, spade-style hands, and an ornate cast brass pendulum bob, with the winding key included. The case shows honest wear consistent with age, including a mellow patina to the oak, oxidation and spotting to the dial surface, and significant tearing and loss to the paper label on the back, while the glass and overall structure remain sound. Movement is in very good condition, chimes accordingly on hour and half hour. This specific clock has lineage and was marked as a 'Kitchen Clock with Alarm". Dimensions: 14 1/2"W X 22 1/4"H
