This clock is part of a 4 piece matching library/office furnishing. The matching chair, bookcase and desk are being sold as one separate set elsewhere on our website. The clock has exquisitely and deeply carved details throughout. Note the carved lion heads on the cornice and scrolling leaves and vines below. The case has carved ionic fluted columns on either side of the beveled glass door. The silvered round dial has painted raised numerals and fancy engravings. Notice how each side of the case has a tall narrow recessed paneled door with an ornately pierced carved scrolling design. The doors allow easy access to the clocks works and movement.

Below the door is another panel with additional detailed carvings of lion heads and a classical urn. The clock rests on bun feet. The case is in excellent original condition. There is a 2" area on the top right crest that shows an earlier damage and professional repair. It is only visible upon close examination and does not distract from the piece.
