Madison Clock Co Ornate Wall Clock Appraisal

Madison Clock Co. Ornate Wall Clock

This is a large, circular wall clock manufactured by Madison Clock Co., as indicated by the 'Madison Clock Co. EST. 1847' inscription on the clock face. The clock features a prominent ornate design with a dark, possibly bronzed or antiqued brown, outer frame. This frame is decorated with raised, floral or foliate scrollwork patterning in a metallic gold finish, creating a striking contrast against the darker background. The design also incorporates linear, fluted sections between the decorative motifs, adding texture and depth. The clock face itself is a warm, deep maroon or reddish-brown color, which complements the gold accents of the Roman numeral hour markers and the two slender metallic gold hands (hour and minute). The crystal covering the face appears intact and clear, though it reflects the surroundings significantly, preventing a full view of the interior mechanism or any secondary markings. The overall style suggests an antique or vintage-inspired aesthetic. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with clear, crisp detailing in the decorative elements. Visible condition suggests general good condition, though the 'antiqued' finish makes it difficult to discern minor wear or scuffs without closer inspection. There are no obvious signs of significant damage, repairs, or heavy patina beyond what is intended by the finish.
