Status: Sold

Gingerbread-style walnut kitchen clock featuring a scalloped, pierced crest topped with a carved fleur-de-lis finial, an octagonal glass door opening, and a base decorated with a stamped floral metal band along the front edge. The clock retains its original glass door tablet, decorated in black and gold with stylized floral arches and scrollwork, and the round brass bezel holds a white enamel dial with bold black Arabic numerals and blued spade hands. Inside, the time-and-strike movement is visible with an ornate pierced brass pendulum bob suspended below, and the clock is accompanied by its winding key stamped "3.75-No.6." Condition is consistent with age and use, with light wear to the case, minor spotting to the dial, tarnishing to the brass bezel and bezel screws, and old surface wear and a few small stains to the case back as pictured. Dimensions: 14 3/4"W X 22 1/4"H
