British United Clock Co. shelf clock, ca. 1890.  This 17-inch clock looks rather German to me, but the label inside makes it clear that it was made by the UCC, a company founded in 1885 by the Davies brothers in England.  The case is walnut or mahogany with ebonized trim and gold ornaments.  The two-part dial is glossy paper and brass.  The glass is modern, the 30-hour time-only movement unsigned but running like a champ.  $50-$100.
