This early 20th-century German architectural mantel clock features the crossed arrows trademark on the dial, identifying it as a product of the Hamburg American Clock Company (HAC), also known as Hamburg-Amerikanische Uhrenfabrik (HAU). The case is constructed from dark-stained wood, likely mahogany or oak, in a classic architectural style. It features a shaped, arched pediment with a central carved fan or shell motif. The circular dial is flanked by pairs of fluted pilasters, all resting on a stepped rectangular plinth base with bracket feet. The white enamel or painted metal dial has black Roman numeral hour markers, red fleur-de-lis motifs positioned between the numerals, and an outer minute track. It is fitted with ornate, pierced blackened metal hands and a brass bezel with a beaded edge. The mechanical eight-day movement features twin winding holes and strikes on the hour and half-hour on a coiled wire gong. The rear of the clock reveals a brass plate movement with a stamped mark and a pendulum is present.
Width: 35 cm.
Condition report:
The wooden case shows age-related wear, including surface scratches and minor scuffs to the finish. The dial and brass bezel exhibit light patination consistent with age. The movement appears complete with its pendulum, but its working order is currently untested.
