Antique Sessions Black Mantel or Shelf Clock, 8 day time and half hour strike, from about 1908, in excellent working condition. Original finish restored. High gloss finish is that way without wax or polish. Features two red marbleized columns flanking the face. Additionally the clock has an ornate floral handle on each end and ornate feet. Embossed gold designs on the base in good condition with little wear. Metal trimmings are restored to their original antique gold finish and are gilt with metal leaf, which is then given a protective finish. It will retain its luster and will not turn brown (as gold paint does after a couple of years). Brass bezel and pierced brass face polished and finished. Paper time track (numbers) is a replacement. Clock movement has been overhauled 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 few minor dings usual with a clock of this age. Clock strikes hour on a cathedral gong and the half hour on a bell. Original wood back has most of the label present, with aging and loss. Pendulum bob is original, round metal back door and key are replacements.
Dimensions: 16 inches wide, 7 inches deep, 11 inches high.
Clock may require minor adjustment after shipping.
