LaRose Post-war regulator, 1949-1990.  The spring-driven movement is signed “LaRose, no (0) jewels, Made in West Germany”, clueing us in to the time-period when this clock was manufactured.  The 36-inch hardwood (walnut?) case is in excellent condition but the two-part metal dial shows some staining, and I’m pretty sure it did not start out with this movement – it appears to have a filled winding hole in the inner dial.  The damascened pendulum bob is quite nice, and the clock is running and striking as expected on the hour and half-hour on a wire gong, keeping time.  The case has a nicely carved crest and base.  $150-$300.
