Vintage Telechron 'Renoir' 4H77 Electric Mantel Clock

This is a mid-century Telechron electric mantel clock, specifically the 4H77 Renoir model, likely manufactured between 1937 and 1942. The clock features a tall, arched 'beehive' or 'tombstone' style wooden case with a distinctive wavy, scalloped tiered base. The wood appears to be walnut or mahogany with a dark, aged finish that shows significant surface wear, minor scratching, and localized scuffing along the edges. The gold-toned metal bezel secures a convex glass lens over a champagne-colored metallic dial. The dial displays stylized Arabic numerals and is marked with the 'Telechron' logo and 'Warren Telechron Co. Ashland, Mass. USA' at the bottom. A signature red 'power outage indicator' dot is visible near the 12 o'clock position, a mechanical feature unique to early Telechron movements that would change color when the clock lost power. The hour and minute hands are ornate, likely steel with a dark finish, accompanying a slender sweep second hand. Overall condition shows heavy patina and dust accumulation, indicating the piece has not been restored. The power cord is not visible, which is a critical safety consideration for electronics of this age. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality mass-produced American horology from the pre-WWII era.
