Sessions Mantel Clock with Westminster Chime

Description :
This vintage Sessions mantel clock features a working mechanical movement and plays the classic Westminster melody on the hour. Encased in a wooden body with decorative carved trim, the clock includes a glass-hinged bezel and an easy-to-read dial. The coiled mainspring and chime mechanism are visible from the back when opened, and a winding key is included. The interior label identifies it as a genuine Sessions Clock Company piece—an iconic American brand from the early 20th century.
