Vanishing or Appearing Mantle Clock. European, ca. 1900. Impressive and heavy cast metal frame with painted wood pillars and brass dial encasement. Raised on pedestals, in a sturdy-looking housing flanked by gilded pillars, the clock suddenly and completely vanishes down to the foundation when covered by a cloth. 10 x 7 x 8 ”. Heavily chipped and rusted, clock lacking glass, but structurally sound and operating.
