Object description

Identity and Attribution

The item is catalogued under the title "Junghans German Mantel Clock" in a sale held by Red Eagle Auctions. The listing title attributes the clock to the German maker Junghans, though the auction record includes no detailed description, movement photography, or cataloguer notes documenting maker stamps or internal marks.

Because maker marks are not distinctly resolved on the dial face in the frontal view, the assignment to Junghans remains seller-reported and rests entirely on the auction house title.
