Part of Clocks, Instruments and Antiques Auction (timed auction by Linkous Auction Group)

High bid $26.00

Status: Sold

Carved walnut case with an elaborately scalloped crest featuring stylized leaf and shell carving, a peaked pediment top, and a matching scalloped, stepped base houses this kitchen clock. The white paper dial has black Roman numerals set within a brass bezel, black spade hands, and an aged, discolored center ring, positioned above a lower glass door decorated with a gilt architectural and floral design in an arcade pattern. The paper dial is not original and is separating from the brass. Inside the case, a brass and gilt basket-weave pendulum bob hangs beneath the coiled gong movement, and a matching brass winding key stamped "3-75 No. 6" is included with the clock. The case shows honest wear consistent with its age, including some soiling to the dial and light surface wear to the carved crest, though the glass door, movement, and pendulum all remain intact and present. The movement is in very good condition, keeps time, includes a key that turns accordingly and chimes on the hour and half hour. This clock has been refinished. Dimensions: 15 1/2"W X 20 3/4"H
