Material Culture: Hand-painted wall clock with interior brass pendulum and wind-up key. There is a glass hinged concave door over the clock face. A brass eagle accent sits at top as well as brass stylized rail accents on the sides. The sailboat print on the bottom door swings open to reveal the pendulum box interior. The clock face is marked "Sessions, Made in the USA".
The Sessions Clock Company was one of several notable American clock companies centered in Connecticut and produced most of the mechanical clocks made in America between the early 20th century and 1950.
"About 1900, William E Sessions and other family members purchased a controlling interest in the E.N. Welch Company, a clock manufacturer located in Forestville, Connecticut. Sessions' father owned a foundry located in Bristol, Connecticut that produced cases for E.N Welch Co. On January 9, 1903, the company was reorganized as The Sessions Clock Company. Within a few years the Sessions Clock Company was producing clock movements, cases, dials, artwork and castings for their line of mechanical clocks. Between 1903 and 1933 Sessions produced 52 models of mechanical clocks, ranging from Advertisers, large and small clocks with logos of various businesses, to wall, or regulator clocks, and shelf or mantel clocks, designed for the home. Many of the Session clocks from this period are prized by collectors."
Material culture is the aspect of social reality grounded in the objects and architecture that surround people. It includes the usage, consumption, creation, and trade of objects as well as the behaviors, norms, and rituals that the objects create or take part in. All of these physical aspects of a culture help to define it.
Era: Traditional Revival (1920 to 1950)
The Traditional Revival period marked a revival of earlier periods, primarily the Colonial and Federal periods, brought back by popular demand. This period relied on intricate inlays and veneers along with shapely turnings to decorate what were primarily straight lines.
Condition: Excellent - wear consistent with age and use. Please note: the clock needs to be serviced by a professional.
Dimensions: 28 inches length, 9 inches width
Shipping and insurance cost included in sale price. This item is final sale and non-returnable. We recommend serious buyers visit our Gallery in Philadelphia to view all material culture prior to purchase.
