Lot Essay

The panels on the present clock provide an unusual alternative to the porcelain side panels which they resemble. Here, brass panels are engraved with a design and then silvered and hand-painted. A clock of related design is illustrated in Joseph Fanelli and Charles Terwilliger A Century of Fine Carriage Clocks Clock Trade Enterprises 1987, pp.30-31.
