A modern mechanical floor clock, commonly known as a grandfather clock, standing at 73 inches tall. The clock features a mahogany-finished wood case with a broken-arch pediment topped by a central turned finial. The silvered dial is marked with black Roman numerals for the hours and an outer track of Arabic numerals for the minutes, with ornate black hands. The centre of the dial displays an FR logo within a rectangular border and is marked 31 DAY. In the arched section above the dial, a globe graphic is inscribed with the Latin phrase Tempus Fugit, meaning time flies. The dial has two winding apertures, indicating a 31-day spring-driven mechanical movement. The trunk includes a glazed door revealing a pendulum and decorative weights. The clock is supported by a stepped plinth base.
73 inches (height).
