High bid $55.00

Status: Sold

E. Ingraham Company kitchen shelf clock manufactured in Bristol, Connecticut, dating to the late 19th century, as confirmed by the printed paper dial. The case is crafted in oak with an elaborately carved crest featuring scrolling foliate and beaded designs above the door, below sits a lower glass panel decorated with a gilt reverse-painted design of foliage and column. The time-and-strike movement strikes on the hour and half hour with a key that properly turns. The paper dial, marked "Manufactured by the E. Ingraham Co., Bristol, Conn., U.S.A." beneath the numerals, shows significant age and staining with darkened tone and wear consistent with its age, while the brass bezel has heavy oxidation and a mottled, unpolished patina. Dimensions: 14 3/4"W X 22 1/4"H
