From a striking Limited Edition of only 2000 pieces, the Howard Miller Vanderbilt Mantel Clock is a breathtaking combination of elegance and functionality, constructed of 11 quality woods. A highly polished Windsor Cherry finish enhances crotch mahogany accents, framed by a satin border and a decorative inlay of maple, padauk, avodire, pear, boxwood, prima vera, rosewood and pecan wood types. Two beveled glass windows offer a priceless look into the intricate workings of the solid, polished brass movement, coordinating perfectly with the inside bottom of the case and sturdy feet. A hinged back door provides convenient storage for the winding key, while an ornate brass Roman numeral dial with a pierced cast and intricate base carvings complete the precious details. The triple-chime key-wound movement offers an automatic nighttime chime shut-off option.
