American, late 19th century. The Gilbert Clock Company, Winsted, Conn, mantle clock in a green Jasperware architectural case with circular glazed dial painted with Arabic numerals and ornate gilt bezel, the whole decorated with white raised scrolling foliage and mythological scene at the base. Time and strike with winding key. Mechanism marked "Pat. APR. 28-96, Made by William L. Gilbert Clock Co., Winsted, Conn, USA". Height 12.5", width 11.5", depth 4.5". On July 5, 1871, the William L. Gilbert Clock Company was formed at Winsted, Conn. to succeed the Gilbert Manufacturing Company (1866-1871) which had been dissolved after a fire destroyed the factory. These firms had grown out of the clockmaking operations of William L. Gilbert (1806-890) who, since 1828, had been involved in various clockmaking partnerships in Bristol, Farmington and Winsted, Connecticut.
Case is in good condition with minimum wear to edges commensurate with age and usage. The clock is not keeping accurate time due to a missing pendulum. The arm that guides the pendulum is slightly bent. Clock is chiming on the half hour and hour.
