Status: Sold
Oak mantel clock features a flat-top rectangular case with paired wood columns on either side of the dial, decorated with gilt Corinthian-style capitals and bases, flanking cast gilt metal scroll mounts at each corner and elaborate feet. The round dial has black Roman numerals on a white ground with a pierced gilt center medallion, set within a deeply embossed gilt bezel, and marked "Made in U.S.A." along the lower edge. Inside, the movement is a visible brass gear train with a coiled gong and cast bell striker, accessed through the circular opening in the case back. The case shows wear consistent with age, including scattered surface scratches and finish wear to the top and back panel, oxidation, while the overall structure remains sound. Includes a key that turns properly and movement is in very good condition. The movement chimes accordingly at the half hour mark and has a deep gong sound at the hour mark. Excellent condition overall. Dimensions: 15 1/4"W X 10"H
