Antique American Clocks
C. & H. Cartwright Anglo-American wall clock, ca. 1900?
This clock uses a Seth Thomas 8-day,
time-only movement in an English-made case, marketed by Cartwright in London.
The 30-inch case has the usual blonde-wood inlay
with the scroll bottom and carved fenestrations in the pendulum door.
The wood is probably oak with a dark and thick finish.
The signed dial is painted metal, the dial glass newer.
There is a good Seth Thomas label on the back, guaranteeing the clock
and indicating that it was made for export.
The movement is stuck and will require attention to get it running.
