Status: Sold

Ornately carved crest tops this walnut case clock, which pairs a Roman numeral dial and a reverse-painted glass panel featuring gilt geometric and butterfly motifs framing the visible pendulum. Original manufacturer's label reading "8 Day Rhine Striking Alarm, New Haven Clock Co." remains intact on the back panel, and a period winding key is included. Cream painted clock face in a brass bezel with black Roman numerals and a set of black spade hands. The movement does move and the key turns but the hands currently do not move. The movement is in need of attention. The very top of the crown has a missing chip and the right side of the crown has a visible crack that appears to be stabilized.
