An absolutely incredible hand carved anthracite coal clock. Attributed to African American sculptor. Although it is not signed, it was produced in the area in which Patience sculpted. His work has been showcased in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and owners of his works included Lady Byrd Johnson. The clock appears to be circa 1930’s. This highly collectible clock exhibits two qualities that collectors look for in anthracite coal. Texturing on the edges, and the piano finish polish on the body and pillars. The Made in USA clock will wind and tick, but I cannot guarantee it works properly. Excellent condition for age… Small dents on the underside/bottom… May need polishing (I did not attempt to clean it). Please ask any questions you may have or request additional photos.
