Fruitwood-finished clock features a rectangular case with a rope-twist molded cornice, reeded pilasters flanking the dial, and a stepped molded base. The painted dial has black Roman numerals with hand-painted rose and floral corner decoration surrounding an open, visible skeletonized movement at the center, paired with black spade hands. The lower glass panel is reverse-painted in black and gilt with an ornate scrolling border, framing a hand-painted floral bouquet of pink and yellow roses. Inside, the weight-driven movement hangs with two lead weights and a brass pendulum bob, visible through the hinged glass door. The case is in clean, well-preserved condition overall with only light handling wear, and the dial, tablet, and glass all remain bright and intact. The movement is in excellent condition, open clock face shows the proper movement. The clock chimes at the hour mark properly and this movement has been properly preserved and cared for. The clock face has been supported with added wood to keep it steady. Includes a key that turns accordingly and fits into the front door knob slot. Overall excellent condition!
