Ingraham Antique Oak Mantel Clock
This is an antique mantel clock manufactured by the Ingraham Clock Company, likely dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, approximately 1890-1910. The case is constructed from solid oak with a prominent tiger oak grain pattern visible on the front panels. The architectural design features a classic rectangular silhouette with a stepped base and a flat, bevel-edged top. The clock is flanked by four decorative pilasters or wooden columns, topped with ornate gold-toned metal capitals in the Ionic style and finished with matching decorative bases. The clock face is round, encased in a brass bezel with a glass cover, featuring black Roman numerals on an off-white or cream-colored dial. The Ingraham maker's name is visibly scripted in the center. Two winding holes are present on the dial, indicating an 8-day time and strike movement. The condition shows light surface wear consistent with age, including some minor dust accumulation and light scratching on the wood. The metal components show a natural aged patina. The overall craftsmanship suggests a high-quality American mass-market timepiece of its era, intended for display on a fireplace mantel or sideboard.
