In the 1940s, Chelsea introduced a series of square-framed mechanical timepieces boasting a unique, Chinese lacquered motif. Over the years, the company introduced several variations, along with this model, which depicts a traditional scene, hand painted and lacquer on a solid brass frame. The hand-silvered dial features etched black Roman numerals and decorative hands. A single winding key, time set knob, and fast/slow regulator can be found on the back of the easel-back timepiece. This clock was originally sold to Spaulding & Company on October 21, 1968. Serial #661345
