Antique American Clocks
Unsigned brass table clock, ca. 1880.
No signature that I can find on this 14-inch brass clock.
There are white cartouche porcelain numbers set in the brass dial, no glass or bezel.
The base is fenestrated such that you
can see the pendulum moving; there are lion's (?) heads on both sides with protruding tongues.
And the requisite urn on top.
The unsigned time-and-strike movement has an unusual bell mount to the back plate with a coiled spring holding it in place; the bell
is damascened.
It is running and striking, but just once on the hour and half-hour.
The back door holds a Plexiglas window;
I have no choice but to throw a penalty flag on that.
The brass finish is a bit worn and tarnished, particularly in comparison
Traditional French key included.
