Imperial Clock Works Mantle Clock

This is a rectangular mantle clock featuring a dark-stained wood or faux-wood frame with a tiered architectural base and a flat-topped cornice. The center of the clock houses a square dial protected by glass. The dial face is an aged off-white or cream color, showcasing the 'Imperial Clock Works' branding in cursive at the top. The time is marked by black Roman numerals at the twelve, three, six, and nine positions, with simple line hashes for the intervening hours. The hands are black, spade-style, indicating a traditional design aesthetic. A decorative antiqued metal handle is mounted on the top, suggesting a portable carriage-style influence. Condition-wise, the item shows visible scuffing and small chips along the wooden edges, particularly on the right side and front corners, indicating a fair amount of use. There is visible dust accumulation around the glass bezel and within the wood crevices. This piece appears to be a modern reproduction or a late 20th-century decorative item made in a traditional style rather than a true antique horological specimen. Craftsmanship is functional with a focus on a distressed or vintage aesthetic.
