An exceptional and highly decorative example of Stickley’s Prairie design influence, this substantial Stickley mantel / shelf clock offers the kind of architectural presence and restrained sophistication that defines the best of the Arts & Crafts tradition.
Dated October 18, 1996, this is not merely a clock, but a beautifully composed design object — a piece that reads as fine furniture as much as it does functional timepiece. The broad overhanging top and base, disciplined case form, warm wood tones, and understated geometric details all reflect the enduring appeal of Prairie and Mission styling. It has the calm confidence and visual balance that makes Stickley so admired by collectors and decorators alike.
At its heart is a mechanical Kieninger movement with pendulum and gong strike, giving this clock the authentic mechanical character that discerning buyers look for. This is the real thing — a serious clock housed in a serious case, with the warmth, sound, and presence that only a quality mechanical example can provide.
This example is in excellent condition and is working perfectly. The case presents beautifully, with a rich and refined finish that highlights the natural beauty of the wood. The dial is especially appealing, with a wonderfully stylized Arts & Crafts look that complements the bold simplicity of the cabinet. Altogether, it is a striking and unusually tasteful piece — substantial, elegant, and unmistakably Stickley.
This is the kind of clock that works beautifully in a library, study, executive office, or carefully curated interior. It has the scale and presence to anchor a room, yet remains true to the quiet restraint that makes Prairie design so timeless. For the buyer who appreciates Stickley craftsmanship, mechanical movement, and architectural form, this is a highly desirable piece.
Examples like this are sought after for good reason: they combine brand prestige, strong decorative impact, and true mechanical quality in one impressive package.
