A late 19th or early 20th-century German architectural-style mantel clock by the Hamburg American Clock Company (HAC). The clock is housed in a stained wood case with a curved pediment featuring a central carved shell-and-scroll motif. The dial is flanked by fluted pilasters, and the whole rests on a stepped plinth base with bracket feet. The white circular dial has black Roman numeral hour markers with red fleur-de-lis motifs, ornate fleur-de-lis style hands, and two winding apertures. The dial bears the manufacturer mark of two crossed arrows. The rear reveals a brass mechanical twin-train movement striking on a coiled wire gong, with the pendulum present.
Height approximately 29 cm.
