I have this wonderful wooden mantel clock and I don't know anything about it. It has a wonderful gold cherub scene on the glass, unknown if it is gold leaf. The clock is about 14" Tall and about 8" wide. I wasn't able to see any makers mark on the inside of the clock and the dial appears to have been painted (not original). Any information about this clock would be greatly appreciated. I believe the pendulum is original but I am not sure. Information I am looking to learn about it; maker, age, period, style, value, etc. Thank you very much for your help.
