High bid $65.00

Status: Sold

Waterbury Clock Co. produced this mahogany-cased column and cornice mantel clock, featuring gold painted wood columns flanking a hinged glazed door, an open-center painted metal dial with black Roman numerals and scrolled green corner decoration revealing the visible eight-day time-and-strike movement beneath, and a reverse-painted glass tablet below depicting a lakeside estate with a sailboat under a sunset sky. The top and bottom glass panels have been re secured to the door and are likely not original. Label affixed to the case interior back identifies the maker as "WATERBURY CLOCK CO." of Waterbury, Conn., describing the movement as an eight-day and thirty-hour brass clock with printed winding and regulating instructions, though the label shows wear and partial loss consistent with age. Included is the original brass and steel winding crank key, shown separately. The pendulum wire is broken off and need to be fixed but includes the original pendulum bob. This clock has been refinished but is in good condition. Dimensions: 15"W X 23 3/4"H
