Lot 93:
Description
This is a charming example of late 19th to early 20th-century decorative functional art, likely of American origin given the “Made in U.S.A.” marking visible on the lower dial. The piece features an ornate, rococo-style cast metal frame with a gold-tone gilt finish, showcasing intricate floral motifs, scrolled architectural supports, and a distinctive “pinecone” or “berry” cluster design on the hinged jewelry casket base. The clock is suspended within a decorative lyre-shaped arch, a popular aesthetic choice for Victorian and Edwardian dresser sets. While the metalwork remains structurally sound with a warm aged patina, the piece shows significant signs of age; the clock is currently non-operational, and the interior silk lining is shattered and exceptionally fragile. The dial displays heavy foxing and discoloration. H 11″, W 8.25″, D 4″. Please see photos for condition.
