C. 1910 James Rankin Junior Adam Style Eight-Day Mantle Clock with Faux Marble

About the Item

This exquisite mantle clock, crafted around 1910, features an exposed escapement and an eight-day movement, requiring winding only once a week. The clock is driven by a striking mechanism that strikes a bell every half hour. The sound of the bell is faint and only strikes once, making it less suitable for those who are hard of hearing. The clock's casing is designed in the Adam style, characterized by its neoclassical elements, including faux marble insets, symmetrical design, and intricate decorative motifs. The overall shape, with its arched top and structured base, is reminiscent of architectural elements found in neoclassical design. It also boasts a beveled glass face, adding to its elegance. Perfect for placement on a desk, mantelpiece, or shelf, this clock is marked with the name "James Rankin Junr" and the location "Glasgow." James Rankin Junior was part of a family of clockmakers operating in Glasgow during the 19th century. The Rankin family was renowned for producing high-quality timepieces, including longcases, walls, and other mechanical clocks. The "Junr" (Junior) designation suggests that James Rankin was the son of another clockmaker named James Rankin, indicating a continuation of the family business. The clock runs and retains all its original components, making it a valuable addition to any collection. H=13.5 in. W= 15 in. D=6 in. 40 lbs.

Late 19th Century Eastlake Style Bronze Eight Light Chandelier
Located in Chicago, IL
This late nineteenth-century gilt bronze and brass Eastlake-style chandelier has four lights, etched glass shades, and foliate scroll details.
