German, Westminster Chime Mantel Clock, Circa 1930s
Description
A German-made mantel clock in the popular tambour or Napoleon hat style, dating from the early to mid-20th century. The dial is marked FOREIGN at the six o’clock position, a common mark for German imports to the British market during this period. It features a mechanical three-train 8-day movement with a Westminster chime. The dark-finished oak case is decorated with applied scroll carvings at the front corners. The two-tone dial has a silvered chapter ring, black Roman numeral hour markers, and a dark wooden centre, with ornate brass-coloured spade hands and three winding arbors. The dial is protected by a glazed, silver-tone metal bezel. Dimensions: Height 22cm, Width 31cm, Depth 14cm.
Condition report:
