Late 19th C. American Table Clock
Unusual octagonal and faceted heavy glass / crystal case paired with a beautiful porcelain dial with roman numerals.
Entirely original, and a fantastic green / gold translucent color that is an incredible accent with so any scenes.
Wind-up mechanical movement - running with a nice sound. Has not been tested for timekeeping but does run for hours at a time. Signed Welch Mnfg Co.
Case is clear so to enjoy the working movement through the side profile - a neat added touch.
4" by 4" in octagonal form - 2" deep.
In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...
My husband loves clocks and watches, but we are choosy about them - they must be examples of great design and craftsmanship that bring something unique...or else they don't come home with us.
This one is all those things!
The shape - octagonal.
The size - perfect on an elegant desk or table.
The color - fantastic.
The dial - perfect porcelain and roman numeral.
The details - faceted bezel, elegant finishing on the reverse.
And it even sounds wonderful when wound and running.
For all the reasons and more, this one stole our hearts. A beauty.
Chairish sells clocks only with display as the intended use. The mechanical elements are not guaranteed to be in working order by Chairish.
