Antique American Clocks
English (?) shelf/bracket clock, ca. 1880?
I've got very little to go on with this lovely clock.
The mahogany-veneered case is 21.5 inches tall with the brass top finial.
There is a blond wood inlay on the front with draperies
across the top; the veneer is cracked at the center top.
The dial glass is convex and old; the dial silvered with little discoloration.
There are four brass feet.
The movement is unsigned and does not appear to be fusee, but I did not pull it from the case.
It strikes Westminster chimes on four cathedral gongs and the hour on a fifth gong.
There is repeater function as well.
Running and striking with a rich deep sound.
$800-$1200.
