Bidspirit auction | Antique Alabaster Wall Clock Face

Antique Alabaster Wall Clock Face with Enamel Cartouche Numerals - This wall clock dial features a circular face constructed from a light-colored stone, likely alabaster or marble. The dial is composed of twelve individual raised metal cartouches, each set with a white enamel center displaying blue Roman numerals. The center of the face is decorated with an ornate cast metal boss in a floral or foliate pattern. The clock retains its two original black-painted metal hands in an openwork spade style. Two winding holes are present on the dial surface, which are now decorative. The stone face is mounted within a decorative pressed metal rim and supported by a circular metal backing plate, likely composed of zinc or galvanized steel. The original mechanical movement has been replaced with a modern battery-operated quartz movement in a clear plastic casing. The reverse of the movement casing features the raised lettering REGULATOR near a red adjustment wheel, with the words BATTERY and THIS WAY visible next to a directional arrow. A label on the motor component is partially legible and includes the word INSTRUMENTS. Hand-written characters in black ink on the plastic casing read 3/55-3. Diameter: 12 7/8 inches.
