This beautiful mantle clock was renovated with its inspiration being Adrian Pearsall's famous mid century modern platform couch designs, and is sure to be a striking statement piece in your home. It features a navy blue chinelle fabric wrapped mantle case (front and top) with stitched beading. The back panel is a textured black paint.
The couch styled platform is a stained poplar wood finished with a carnauba wax. The hand-made dial is brass, and features a coordinating mcm style brass hour & minute hand. The movement is a 340-020 and has been disassembled, thoroughly hand-cleaned and oiled. The floating balance gets great rotation and the clock runs great.
The chime is a Westminster and chimes quarterly and counts the hour. There is a silence mechanism accessed on the exterior of the back panel of the clock. The 5 rod gong is mounted directly to the main wood platform and yields great resonance, creating a wonderful chime tone. The movement comes with the transfer clamps (not installed at time of photo, but is currently installed) and will be packaged carefully to ensure a safe arrival. It comes with the original key which can be stored inside the back panel on a clamp. Directions will be provided on operation and recommended maintenance.
