Status: Sold

E. Ingraham Company mantel clock manufactured in Bristol, Connecticut, dating to the late 19th to early 20th century, as confirmed by the printed paper dial and the manufacturer's label affixed to the interior of the case. The case is finished in black enamel over wood and is flanked by faux marble columns in green and gold tones, accented with gilt cast metal capitals and floral appliques, while gilt lion head ring pulls decorate each side panel and ornate gilt scroll feet support the base. The eight-day time-and-strike movement is visible through the open back, showing a brass gear train, dual mainspring coils, and a bell-and-hammer striking mechanism, all appearing intact and original to the case. The paper dial, marked "Ingraham" and "Manufactured by the E. Ingraham Co., Bristol, Conn., U.S.A." beneath the numerals, shows expected age with some yellowing, light staining, and surface soiling, and the brass bezel has a dulled, unpolished patina consistent with age. Not tested. Dimensions: 15 1/2"W X 11"H
