Description: 2517 Kensington
This stately floor clock features
Royale Cherry finish on genuine hardwoods with
Cherry and Olive Ash burl veneers. The Olive
ash burl is mounted on raised panels over the
book matched Cherry on the front of the top
crown. The beautiful shape of the stepped swan’s
neck pediment with a carved finial rests upon
the wonderfully carved shell design located
under the finial seat.
An individually numbered edition
dial features
raised corner spandrels and cast center disk
where the listed number for the edition is shown,
applied numerals and a functioning moon dial
with the inscription “Numbered Edition”
on the moon arch. A large lyre pendulum with
a 10 7/8” (275mm) cast center disk compliments
the dial and the banded weight shells. Exclusive
to Ridgeway, this lower lamp offers a touch
switch for dimming (located at the middle door
hinge) to create a more romantic mood for light
inside the case. A separate lamp illuminates
just the movement and dial.
Large reeded columns and richly
carved column caps along with a full wrapping
mid-collar add a majestic feel, which separates
the upper locking door from the lower locking
door with shaped beveled glass and also brings
attention to the side beveled glass panels.
A decorative embossed molding below the lower
front door also accentuates the multi-tiered
base with raised Olive Ash burl overlays.
The mechanical cable driven movement
rings a choice of three chimes, which are the
Westminster, St. Michael and Whittington.
An automatic night silence option comes
with this movement as well.
A free engraved brass plate and
a 2 year warranty are included with this clock.
