Antique Seth Thomas Black Adamantine Mantel Clock, Cherubs EXCELLENT Condition!! Up for auction is a beautiful black a faux marble green Seth Thomas Adamantine clock from the turn of the 19 th century. The case was stripped of all the trim and carefully cleaned with a mild cleaner. All the hardware was cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner and polished by hand. The lion heads, bezel, rear door, and brass Cherub pillars all are original and shined up very well. The feet had plate loss so they were touched up with a rub’ n’ buff to match the hardware. The case was hand rubbed and polished with a carnauba and orange wax before the hardware was installed. The original paper on the back is still 90% intact and in very good condition. The hip-style 3 5/8” signed Seth Thomas movement was removed from the case, ultrasonically cleaned, inspected, and oiled with quality clock oil. The main springs were inspected and also oiled. The movement was run in a test stand and adjusted before being installed back in the case. The clock is a strong runner; it strikes out the top of the hour equal to the hour on a coiled cathedral gong and strikes once on the bottom of the hour on the gong. Included in this auction are the original adjustable pendulum bob, a quality replacement key for winding and set up and maintenance instructions for your new time piece.
