An extraordinarily
detailed floor clock with bookmatched olive ash burl gracing the front
and sides of the unique swan neck pediment, and a carved urn finial
and finial support add the finishing touch.
The Hampton Cherry
finish is distressed for an aged appearance.
The elaborate dial
includes raised brass Arabic numerals, cast center and corner ornaments,
and a moon phase with exclusive Presidential Collection hemispheres.
A cast center disk
on the polished brass pendulum mirrors the dial, and polished brass
weight shells with decorative bands complete the picture.
Canted columns with
large reeds and intricately carved caps frame the beveled glass doors.
Additional flourishes
include a carved molding below the dial and carved floral overlays framing
the locking lower door.
Attention to detail
continues on the multi-tiered base, where you’ll find canted corners,
olive ash burl, wrap-around carved moldings, and uniquely elegant carved
feet.
The beveled glass
doors on the upper sides offer easy access to the movement and storage
of the hand crank and door key.
