Antique Weight Driven Wall Regulator Clock - A nineteenth-century weight-driven wall regulator clock featuring a carved wooden case, likely walnut or oak, with an architectural crenelated crest. The clock has a rectangular glazed drop-front door that opens via two brass hinges to reveal a white-painted circular dial. The dial is marked with black Roman numeral hour markers, a seconds sub-dial below the twelve o'clock position, and blued steel hands. A single winding arbor is positioned above the six o'clock marker. The movement is mechanical and weight-driven, accompanied by a wood-rod pendulum with a circular brass-faced bob and two cylindrical brass weights. The lower bracket of the case features a shaped edge with incised foliate and linear decorative motifs. The backboard is constructed of two vertical wooden panels with a metal hanging bracket attached at the top center. There are faint, illegible remnants of markings near the center of the dial that cannot be read as a name or brand. Complete with pendulum, key, and heavy brass weight taped inside.
