Brass Hanging Clock Appraisal

Vintage-Style Brass Spherical Hanging Clock

This item is a spherical, ball-shaped clock designed with a brass-colored metal finish, reminiscent of a large pocket watch or a traditional table clock modified for hanging. The casing features a deep, orb-like profile with a large, integrated hanging ring attached to a top-mounted post. The clock face is white with black Roman numerals and a minute track along the outer edge. The hands are black, with a spade-style hour hand and a slim baton-style minute hand. The construction appears to be a metal alloy with an antiqued brass or bronze-toned coating. In terms of condition, there is visible surface wear including minor scuffing on the metal casing and a light patina typical of decorative metalware. The crystal appears clear but shows slight reflections that may indicate a plastic or glass material. This piece likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century, designed as a decorative 'reproduction' piece rather than a historic antique. The craftsmanship is functional and geared toward interior decor, lacks visible branding or maker's marks on the face, and is suspended by a simple white cord/hook assembly which is not part of the original design.
