Status: Sold

Seth Thomas Clock Company mantel clock, as identified by the label printed on the movement plate reading "8 Day Spring Clocks" and "Seth Thomas," dating to the mid to late 19th century. The case is veneered in rosewood with a stepped cornice top, flanked by contrasting ebonized black columns with gilt brass capitals and bases, and the lower door retains a plain mirrored glass tablet above a small circular glazed opening revealing the pendulum bob. The paper dial features bold Roman numerals within a decorative scrolled and medallion-printed border, and the spring-driven movement is visible through the open door with its coiled mainspring, gearing, and instructional labeling for regulation and oiling still legible. Includes a key that turns properly. The movement chimes at the hour but does not chime at the half hour as it should. Is in need of attention. Dimensions: 10 3/4"W X 16"H
