C.1900, French, 8-day time and strike marble mantel clock, in very good original condition. The marble case is good condition, with only minor edge roughness, commensurate with normal wear and tear. Case has inset onyx side and bottom panels that are deep red/gray. The clock was retailed by "A. Stowell and Co., Boston" as printed on the dial. The porcelain dial and beveled door glass are perfect, and the hands are original. What is unusual is this clock has a jeweled platform lever movement, rather than the more common pendulum type; movement marked Isochronal, V-V Lever; just manages to tick and strike, and would benefit from service. The clock strikes on a round gong on a vertical rod. Height 10 inches
