Late 19th Century Oak Mantel Clock
Description
This late 19th to early 20th-century mantel clock is designed in an architectural style, featuring a case primarily constructed from oak with a prominent grain. The structure includes a peaked pediment top and fluted pilasters that flank the central dial. The front panels are composed of a dark-stained secondary wood, possibly poplar or mahogany. The clock face is set behind a circular brass bezel and glass crystal, featuring Roman numerals and ornate blackened metal hands. While no maker marks are visible on the exterior, the style and construction are characteristic of German horological manufacturing from this era. Dimensions: 26cm x 31cm x 13cm.
