DescriptionThe light walnut clock is carved and grooved with scrolls on the top and sides. The glass door with a rounded top covers the face and pendulum. A gold floral design is stenciled on the inside of the glass door. The face is white with printed Roman numerals, two hands and two key slots for winding the clock and chime. Below the face is a round brass piece. In front of that hangs an ornate brass pendulum with carving and scrolls, and a white round center with a six (6) sided star. The tall case sits on a rectangular pedestal with scrolls cut out. The carving is a bit primitive as if from a kit. Four (4) screw tips (not heads) extend out of the wood piece on the back. They are nailed down.
