Lot 117:
Late Victorian Architectural Oak and Veneered Mantel Clock
Description
This late Victorian architectural mantel clock, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, is constructed with a solid oak case featuring a prominent grain and a central panel finished in mahogany-toned veneers. The design follows a neo-classical influence, characterised by a pedimented top and flanking fluted pilasters. The circular dial is set behind a brass-rimmed glass bezel, featuring Roman numeral markers and two winding apertures for a striking movement, complemented by ornate black metal hands. The construction reflects the transition from hand-finished to industrialised furniture and clock production typical of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. No maker’s marks are visible on the exterior. 32 cm x 36 cm x 15 cm.
Condition report:
The case is structurally sound but shows significant cosmetic wear. There is prominent finish loss and scuffing to the side of the base, and the overall wood finish is dull and aged. The dial exhibits minor discolouration. The mechanical movement is untested and may require professional attention to ensure functionality. Key and pendulum are not present.
