Just an old clock I found back in 1971. Owners were fixing to throw it out I tried to buy it they wouldn’t sell it they just gave it to me. Very kind of them.

It's really a beauty of "art nouvaeu" styling called an Ophelia clock. What a generous gift. Here's what it looked like originally. You may have seen one in the years you've owned it. :)

thank you very much for the information. I had looked it up at one time a couple decades ago but had forgotten. When I first saw it I was speechless because it is so beautiful. I still think it’s beautiful and it’s been looking at me for 50 years. You’re very kind to have responded with the information. If there’s anything I can ever help you with please contact me. I know a good deal about 19th-century and earlier American furniture.
You're very welcome and thank you for your kind offer rgkj. I sure will . By the way does it run ? Looking at the face with the two key holes it must strike or chime as well.
Yes sir, it does run. Original key but I will have to cast the missing drop on right side.
