Antique Gilbert Black Mantel or Shelf Clock, 8 day time and half hour strike, from 1900 in excellent working condition, named Royal. Original finish restored. High gloss shine is that way without wax or polish. Has a single large dark red marbleized column on each side of the face with dark red marbleized moldings above and below the columns, that wrap around the sides. This clock also features lion paw feet and an ornate handle on each end. Incised gold design on the base and around the face in excellent condition, with little wear. Solid brass trim on the columns, bezel and brass centered face polished and finished. Paper time track (numbers) is replaced. Metal trimmings restored to their original antique gold finish with metal leaf, which retains its luster and will not turn brown (as gold paint does after a couple of years). Clock movement has been overhauled at some time in the recent past, worn bushings replaced. Clock movement has just been serviced (serviced means cleaned, lubricated, and balanced), using only the finest German synthetic lubricants. Synthetic lubricants are superior to standard petrochemical 'oils'. They have better lubricating qualities, are longer lasting and do not discolor, smell or become gummy with age, requiring less frequent maintenance. This clock is in excellent condition, except for a couple of very minor dings usual with a clock of this age. Clock strikes hour on a cathedral gong and the half hour on a bell. Wood back cover is original, key and pendulum bob are replacements.
Dimensions: 11 inches high, 17 inches wide, 7.5 inches deep.
Clock may require minor adjustment after shipping.
Included with the clock are instructions for setting up and maintaining it. I am also available after the sale for any questions you may have. Thank you for taking the time to consider this clock.
