Mother-of-pearl floral and foliate designs are inlaid in the stained mahogany of two contrasting tones, surrounding the porcelain clock face to create bilateral symmetry. Behind protective glass, the white porcelain face has beautiful hand-painted Roman numerals and floral design radiating from the pierced brass hands. Recently professionally cleaned and ready to be hung in your interior. The clock chimes on the hour, 5 minutes after the hour, and once on the half hour. This clock has a very short pendulum swing and must be level. If you swing the pendulum too hard, it will be out of balance. A winding key is included. Make sure to view the detailed images to get a closer look at the condition and wonderful patina.
