Ingraham 'Cabinet' Style Mantel Clock with Rose Painted Case
This item is an antique American mantel clock, likely manufactured by the E. Ingraham Company during the late Victorian era, circa 1880-1900. The case is constructed of wood with a dark mahogany or walnut finish, featuring distinctive hand-painted floral motifs including pink roses on the side panels. The rectangular case is accented with ornate brass stamped appliqués on the front corners and sides, and it rests on a stepped base with spherical brass feet. The clock face is protected by a glass-fronted door decorated with a stenciled gold border in a lightning bolt or Greek key pattern. The dial itself consists of an etched brass center with Roman numeral indices on a cream-colored outer ring, complemented by ornate black hands. Below the dial, a decorative circular pendulum is visible through the glass. The condition shows moderate wear consistent with age, including surface scratches on the wood, some tarnishing to the brass elements, and minor fading of the painted floral details. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced but high-quality decorative timepiece typical of late 19th-century American domestic interiors.
