Vintage 13" Ships Wheel Mantle Clock with Wood Block & Tackle - Nautical Sailing Knots Brass - Excellent Working Condition
This exquisite timepiece was more than just a clock; it was a portal to the days of daring voyages, salty breezes, and the allure of the open sea.
Measuring 12 1/2" in height, 11" in width, and a sturdy 5" in thickness, this clock was a testament to craftsmanship and design. Its most captivating feature was the meticulously crafted ship's wheel at its core, a wheel that seemed to echo with the stories of countless maritime adventures. As if touched by Poseidon himself, the wheel bore the essence of the ocean, its wood grain and brass accents resonating with the spirit of exploration.
At the heart of the wheel, a clock dial with a 5 1/2" diameter kept perfect time, thanks to a brand new movement powered by a single AA battery (battery not included). This clock was not merely a decorative piece but a reliable timekeeper, ensuring that no sailor would miss their next tide.
The clock's allure did not stop at its functional prowess. Surrounding the dial, intricate nautical sailing knots were etched into the wood, each knot telling a story of seamanship and skill. Elegant brass accents adorned the edges, adding a touch of sophistication to this maritime masterpiece. It was a true work of art, paying homage to the timeless beauty of the high seas.
But what made this clock even more special was its impeccable condition. It had been discovered at an estate sale, preserved in mint condition. It was as if it had been plucked from the captain's quarters of a grand sailing vessel, still echoing with the tales of journeys long past. This clock was a rare find, a treasure that had withstood the test of time.
