Lot 274: An Edwardian Inlaid Mahogany Striking Mantel Clock
An Edwardian-style mantel clock featuring a mahogany case with an arched top. The case is decorated with inlaid boxwood stringing and marquetry, including a central shell motif within an oval reserve and fan motifs in the upper corners. The circular white dial is set within a brass bezel behind a glass cover, featuring black Roman numerals and an outer minute track with Arabic numerals at 15, 30, 45, and 60. The dial has two winding apertures, indicating a mechanical striking movement. The clock is supported by a stepped rectangular base. No maker marks are visible on the dial or the front of the case. A small adhesive label with the number 23 is present on the left side of the case.
