This impressive German mantle clock from the early 20th century, circa 1910, features a stunning walnut case with exquisite details. The clock showcases a break arch top adorned with decorative cast brass finials, adding a touch of elegance to its design. Brass silk-backed sound frets grace the sides of the clock, while a glazed break-arch door is flanked by a pair of cast brass caryatids.
Resting on a dee ogee moulded plinth and raised on splayed paw feet, this clock boasts a brass dial with cast spandrels and a matted dial centre. The silvered chapter ring is marked with Roman numerals, complemented by gothic steel hands and a pendulum regulation dial to the arch. The two-train going barrel movement includes rack striking, which sounds the quarters on two gongs and the hour on one.
Complete with its pendulum and key, this mantle clock is a fine example of craftsmanship from the early 20th century. Don't miss the opportunity to make it yours at the upcoming auction at Duggleby Auctioneers.
