    This is one of the pieces of oriental items from a storage auction.I believe this is a Japanese grandfather clock with inlaid mother of pearl geisha ladies.I'm not sure but I believe their faces are ivory.on the face of the clock is Germany.Black lacquer.I do have the pendulum,key and weights.Anybody know if this is vintage or what is it called,Japaness,Chinese?? I will be loading up a few more pieces I got out of that auction. Screenshot-20220408-222414-Messenger.JPG SAM_6163.JPG SAM_6164.JPG SAM_6167.JPG SAM_6168.JPG

    Can you look closely at the clock face? See if there’s a manufacturer’s mark. The face doesn’t look terribly old to me from the pics.

    See if there’s any markings at all; the clock makers often sold the movement, and then the clock maker would add the face and the cabinet.

    Other manufacturers offered mix-and-match catalogs.

    See if there’s anything like a name on the back of the movement and hopefully a serial number.

    You’re looking for a mark like Becker, Kienzle, or perhaps a clockmaker plate showing name and location.

    Can you take a few pics of the movement from the back?
