This exquisite early 1900s grandfather clock is a fine example of American craftsmanship, featuring a richly carved walnut Durfee case paired with an exceptional Elliot 5-tube chiming movement. A true statement piece, this tall case clock combines the artistry of hand-carved walnut with the precision of a premium English movement, creating both a functional timepiece and an heirloom-quality decorative furnishing.

The clock face features a brass dial with intricate engravings and Roman numerals, adding to its elegance and old-world charm. Inside, the Elliot 5-tube chiming mechanism produces a resonant, melodious tone that exemplifies the high-quality engineering of the era. Perfect for collectors and connoisseurs of fine antique timepieces, this Durfee case Elliot grandfather clock represents the best of early 20th-century design. Standing as a testament to craftsmanship, beauty, and precision, it will elevate any Victorian, Edwardian, or traditional interior.
