ENTRYWAY COLLECTION - French Estate Style
An antique late 19th-century Continental tiger oak bracket mantel clock with gilt ormolu caryatid mounts, pineapple finials, pierced brass side grilles, and an eight-day hour-strike movement. Beautifully figured quarter-sawn oak gives the case exceptional warmth and character, while the gilt mounts and scrolling feet reflect the influence of French decorative design.
The eight-day movement strikes the hour on a coiled gong and retains its original pendulum, winding key, and matching key for the front and rear access doors. Purchased from a professional watchmaker, the clock is currently running and keeping time.
A distinguished mantel, library, or entryway clock that combines handsome craftsmanship with the enduring appeal of late Victorian decorative arts.
COLLECTOR'S NOTES
Well-made late Victorian bracket clocks remain sought after for both their craftsmanship and decorative appeal. This example is distinguished by its beautifully figured tiger oak case, substantial ormolu mounts, and complete original accessories, including both keys and pendulum. Purchased from a professional watchmaker and currently running, it represents the kind of quality collectors appreciate in an authentic period mantel clock.
