Rare Seth Thomas
"Signet" Model
Office
Wall Clock (ca. 1890)
|
|
The most distinguishing
feature of this rarely seen, beautifully crafted clock is the door:
the dramatic geometric pattern surrounding the dial is repeated
in the lower tablet for viewing the pendulum.

(Item #AC-1)
(ca.
23" H x 14-1/2" W x 3-3/4" D)

The gold leaf pattern
on the lower tablet
is stunning and original. |

(movement)
|
This clock features an
eight-day running, time-only, spring-driven movement.
The movement is stamped with the Seth Thomas logo and is original
to the case.
|
The walnut case has been cleaned but is original.
|
|
The veneer has only a couple of small repairs.
(case detail)
|
The
clock retains its original case hardware and pendulum.
|
(label)
Also notice the excellent original
label inside the case.
|
|
The hands are original
and correct for this model. The
zinc dial has its original painted surface with some fading of the Roman
numerals. Some touch-up was
performed on the outer edge of the dial.
This work is rather old and is not noticeable except upon close
inspection. |
