An impressive and generously proportioned mantel clock in the Aesthetic Movement taste, of striking architectural inspiration. The mahogany case in an ebonised finish, is centred by a gilt-painted and enamelled ceramic dial, framed by four ceramic panels finely decorated with foliate motifs, with a further rectangular panel adorning the base. Each side is flanked by a twisted column, rising to a balustraded cresting above.
Evidently in the style of Lewis Foreman Day (1945-1910), however there are no markings to confirm this.
Measurements: 49cm high
Condition: The movement is currently in working order and is offered complete with its pendulum and winding key. Please note that we are not clock specialists and therefore cannot guarantee the continued operation or timekeeping accuracy of the mechanism.
The case has undergone a number of cosmetic restorations to the wood over the years and exhibits natural age-related cracking throughout, together with minor knocks and surface scratches consistent with its age and use. The painted panels remain in good overall condition, showing light surface wear and minor areas of paint loss. The glazed dial cover appears free from chips or cracks.
