<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 133097, member: 56"]The side with the clock face will fold flat, but the mirror does not remain standing. You can see how it folds in the link clutteredcloset provided (that example apparently has plain beveled glass, rather than a mirror). I think the only function of the clock face was to carry over the illusion of a carriage clock. I don't remember if the hands were moveable or not, or if there was access to move them (I think not). If they were... increased realism?... an aide memoire for use?... luck of the draw?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no idea what those engraved lines might mean.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wasn't able to remove the grill from the center well, but I wasn't about to try and force it. Looking at the picture now, I see what look like 4 raised rosettes and I wonder if they might be threaded pins holding the grill in place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
