Howard Miller Oak Grandfather Clock (Floor Clock)
This is a substantial floor-standing Howard Miller grandfather clock, likely dating from the late 20th century (circa 1980s-1990s). The piece is constructed with a solid oak and oak veneer casing, featuring a warm, honey-toned finish that highlights the natural grain. The architecture of the clock is defined by a stepped, swan-neck pediment (bonnet) at the crown with a central finial or plinth. Characteristically, this model includes a triple-arched face plate with a brass-finished dial, silver-toned chapter ring with Arabic or Roman numerals, and ornate filigree corner spandrels. Above the dial is a functional moon phase complication decorated with astronomical illustrations. The mid-section features a full-length, lockable glass door providing a clear view of the reflective polished brass weights and large pendulum bob. The sides also appear to be glazed, allowing for additional light entry. The base is multi-tiered and flared, providing a sturdy foundation. Visible condition appears good with high structural integrity; there is no immediate evidence of moisture damage or significant scarring to the wood, though minor surface dust and typical finish oxidation on the brass components may be present. The craftsmanship reflects typical high-end American factory manufacturing of the era, focusing on traditional 'Presidential' styling.
