What does this mean?

Hi David,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Grandfather clocks are tall, freestanding timepieces with a pendulum, often encased in an ornate wooden cabinet. These clocks, typically standing over six feet tall, are known for their deep chimes marking the hour. Originating in the 17th century, they symbolized tradition, elegance, and craftsmanship, and were once seen to enhance home decor.
With so many people telling time either from their cell phone or a smart watch, traditional clocks have largely fallen out of favor with collectors and there is greater supply than demand these days, which keeps values low. Recently, unattributed tall-case or grandfather clocks were selling for $300 or less at auction.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

A vintage chiming walnut tall case clock

The single arched dial with compound mid-molding and raised sunburst over a tombstone-paneled glazed door opening to a cast brass and steel dial inscribed "Tempus Fugit" above a clock face with Arabic numeral chapter rings, the case with glazed door opening to a pendulum and weights.
74 inches high, 16 inches wide, 9 inches deep
CONDITION: This clock appears to be in good condition; value assumes this is in working condition.
