C. & H. Cartwright Anglo-American wall clock, ca. 1900?  This clock uses a Seth Thomas 8-day, time-only movement in an English-made case, marketed by Cartwright in London.  The 30-inch case has the usual blonde-wood inlay with the scroll bottom and carved fenestrations in the pendulum door.  The wood is probably oak with a dark and thick finish. The signed dial is painted metal, the dial glass newer.  There is a good Seth Thomas label on the back, guaranteeing the clock and indicating that it was made for export.  The movement is stuck and will require attention to get it running.  $125-$175.
