An early 20th-century American bell top mantel clock by the Gilbert Clock Company, dated 1903. This sculptural clock features a dramatic black case with engraved detailing, an architectural bell-top crest, and a brass bell that chimes the hour and half hour.

The clock has been professionally serviced (October 2025) and is in good working order. It runs smoothly and strikes clearly, offering both decorative presence and reliable function. Retains its original winding key.

A substantial and visually striking piece, ideal for a mantel, library shelf, or sideboard-where its form and sound can be fully appreciated.

The case retains its original finish, developing a rich, textured surface over time that enhances its depth and character.
