Antique American Clocks
Gilbert Clock Co. "Stella", ca. 1879.
A rare clock with a gesso or gutta percha border
around the door and on the base, in a black lacquered case, 14 inches tall.
There are metal trim pieces on the front corners
of the base and metal leaves on the upper corners of the door; the trim pieces are missing from the bottom corners.
The decorated
glass is original, as is the black paper dial with a stenciled shield design, the brass hands, and the regulated pendulum.
signed 8-day time-and-strike movement is running and striking on a cathedral gong.
There is no label.
You rarely see this
clock, and rarely preserved this well.
No recent sales.
