High bid $30.00

Status: Sold

The Sessions Clock Company produced this shelf clock, marked "Made in U.S.A." on the dial, housed in a heavily carved oak case with a scrolled crest featuring floral and shell relief carving, curled side scrollwork, and a matching carved base. The white painted dial is signed "Sessions" beneath the twelve, with black Roman numerals, black spade hands, and an aged, discolored center ring, behind a decorated glass door with a gold reverse painting that is appropriately worn. Inside the case, a brass and gilt pendulum bob hangs beneath the coiled gong movement, and winding key is included with the clock. The key turns appropriately and the movement is clean with hourly chimes. Overall very good condition for its age with some crazing to the wood frame from heat and age. Dimensions: 15"W X 22 3/4"H
