Description
A beautiful example of traditional American craftsmanship, this vintage 1970s Emperor Clock Company "Cambridge" Model 300 grandfather clock combines timeless elegance, exceptional woodwork, and precision mechanical engineering.
Proudly made in the USA, this impressive 82-inch-tall timepiece features a richly grained wood cabinet with a graceful split-pediment crown, decorative finial, and beautifully preserved finish.
