Winterhalder Style Oak Mantel Clock

German Winterhalder style bracket mantel clock constructed with a carved oak case and a triple-train mechanical movement. The case is made of quarter-sawn oak with an arched top surmounted by four carved pineapple-style finials. The front facade is flanked by fluted columns with Corinthian foliate capitals. The base features a central carved floral rosette panel flanked by horizontal acanthus leaves and vertical reeding, resting on four turned gadrooned bun feet. The side panels contain inset wooden fretwork in a scrolling pattern, and the rear door includes a diamond-patterned metal lattice grille over red fabric. The clock is equipped with a composite dial featuring a silvered chapter ring, gilt brass scrollwork spandrels, and blued-steel filigree hands. The main chapter ring includes Roman numeral hour markers and Arabic minute markers. Three sub-dials are set in the upper arch for chime selection, regulation, and chime melody choice. Three winding arbors are present on the dial face for the time, strike, and chime functions. Unsigned. 19 1/2" H x 15" W x 10 1/2" D.
