壁炉架时钟 - 木, 黄铜 - 1930-1940

Vintage Swiss mantel clock, likely from the 1920s-1940s, equipped with a high-quality mechanical movement from Fabrique d’Horlogerie de Fontainemelon SA (FHF) – a historic Swiss ebauche manufacturer (since 1793, later integrated into Ebauches SA then ETA).

On the movement’s backplate, an engraved snowflake (snowflake mark) – trademark registered by FHF on March 3, 1917 (recognized in horological archives like NAWCC and specialized books). This confirms the premium Swiss origin of the mechanism, reliable and typical of clocks from this era exported worldwide.

Elegant case in wood (mahogany or similar) finely polished, classic shape with wavy top (style “cloud” or “ogee”), adorned with lovely inlays/decorative stringing in light wood and fan motifs at the corners. Round dial in gilded brass, guilloche or silvered center with charming age crackling, clear black Roman numerals, fine blued steel hands, central seconds hand.

• Max height: 19.5 cm
• Max width: 28 cm
• Max depth: 8 cm

Brass feet (ball or bun feet style), polished brass bezel, removable back revealing the beautiful brass movement with “SWISS MADE” plate, serial numbers (e.g., 1052 / 12304), FAST/SLOW regulator, visible lever escapement, etc. (detailed photos of the mechanism included).

Manual wind mechanical (standard key). Works properly, with a very soft, calm and pleasant tick – discreet and enjoyable, perfect for a living room without disturbing noise (no striking/chime).

Good original vintage condition, beautiful natural wood patina, normal signs of use and age (light scratches, slightly worn varnish, fine typical cracks on dial – see precise photos). No major breaks, no cracked glass. Ready to display or use; a service/cleaning recommended for longevity (as with any vintage mechanical).

Charming, decorative and authentic “Swiss Made FHF” item – appreciated by fans of historic Swiss horology, classic mantel clocks, and vintage decor.
