A fantastic custom cased wall clock featuring a Seth Thomas 15-day spring driven movement. 218050.

This is a very decorative wall clock. The case is constructed in mahogany and retains a beautiful mellow patina. The case design is embellished with numerous carvings and decorated moldings, suggesting that it was specially ordered. This custom-made case must have been originally designed for a specific location. The quality of the craftsmanship suggests that an architect designed it for a particular location. It must have been the focal point of a room.

This case measures a full 64 inches in length. At the top molding, it is 20.5 inches wide and 9.75 deep. It is a substantial piece. The top has an architecturally shape pediment that centers a single-turned wooden finial. The upper section of the case frames the dial. The lower box is fitted with a long rectangular door. This door features an inlaid panel. The subject of the inlay is a classical vase that presents wheat. A bracket is mounted at the bottom of the case, and this design terminates in a carved shell. It is worth mentioning again that the quality of the carvings that decorate this case are fantastic. 

The dial is a combination of brass and enamel. Brass is used as the center section. The enamel portion supports the time ring. This time ring features Roman-style hour numerals. Spade-shaped hands depict the time.

Behind the dial is the Seth Thomas-made movement. It is designed with double spring power and is a time-only design. It will run 15 days on a full wind. It is heavily constructed in brass and features a Graham deadbeat escapement and a long pendulum. The pendulum hangs from a bracket mounted to the back of the case. The wooden rod supports a brass-faced bob. The movement is also secured to the same iron bracket, which is mounted to the backboard in a similar manner to that of the Seth Thomas Number 2 model. 

This fine wall clock was made circa 1900.
