1908 W.H.L. Gilbert Curfew Mantel Clock
A fascinating antique Curfew mantel clock from the renowned W.H.L. Gilbert Clock Co., crafted circa 1908. This piece boasts a robust wooden case, with intricate scroll carvings on the front and a striking marbleized finish on the sides, reflecting the unique aesthetic preferences of the early 20th century. Adding to its allure are the decorative brass arch, bell, and ornate feet that infuse it with an old-world charm.
The clock features a gold tone bell atop the case, which chimes delightfully on the hour and half hour, marking time with a resonant tone that adds a melodious atmosphere to any setting. The clock face, encircled by a golden rim, shows signs of modification as depicted, enhancing its vintage character.
