<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 97234, member: 25&quot;]The pseudo classical friezes and figures were very common on this type of clock . It took the classical temple look just a bit further and cost just a bit more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Originally the bronze, cast embellisments were finished with a black &#039;patina&#039; to imitate old bronze, they are often polished later to &#039;&#039;brighten the clock up a bit&#039;&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Date about 1900. Very modest value at the present time when clock prices are low.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no way&nbsp; to identify the case maker, nor any poinnt in doing so, just some blokes in a dusty shed somewhere. The figures are generic with no real relevance to anything. All of the many examples of simialr clocks that I have had or seen seem to have ordered their trimmings from the same parts catalogue.</p><p><br /></p><p>In time this look may come back into fashion. At least the movements are good quality. The cases are good quality, but it&#039;s not a look people are buying right now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
