Hello Landra,
Thank you for sending your Hall clock to mearto for appraisal. I will try to assist you today. . .
This is a stained oak, three weight, eight day time, striking and quarterly chiming Hall clock (Hall clock = modern American grandfather clock), case made in the USA, possibly by the Emperor Clock Company using an imported Franz Hermle German made movement, the latter made on special order for the King Arthur Clock Company. (I suspect that Emperor and King Arthur were related in a business manner and that the Emperor brand handled the higher priced items, but there is no clear information about this. Please review the known History below), clock made circa mid 1980's.
The stained oak case measures approximately 73" x 19.5" x 11" with a molded broken arch pediment above an undecorated tympanum with an arched cornice over the arched glazed dial door with an ornate metal door pull. The door is flanked by block and turned oak colonnettes. A concave molding transitions down to the trunk section with it full length rectangular wooden door enclosing an arched glazed panel for viewing the descent of the brass canister weights and the arc of the pendulum as it swings inside the trunk. The case corners are chamfered. An ogival molding leads down to the base with a recessed shield-shaped panel and smooth chamfered corners as well. The base molding sits on straight bracket feet with a gentle undulating apron between the two feet at the front. The back of the hood section has a removable panel to access the movement compartment. . . The arched brass alloy dial plate has applied Arabic hours in circular cartouche form with floral decorations between the numbers and a closed minute track. The dial center is textured brass and there are god-head rococo spandrels seen in the dial corners. There are steel Chippendale style hands. The lunette has a revolving moon dial and two engraved hemispheres. The dial is not signed and is supplied to the furniture company (King Arthur) by the Franz Hermle & Sons Clock Company who made the movement, dial, weights and pendulum. . . The movement is marked for the retailer ‘King Arthur Fairhope Alabama’ with model and size numerals used in factory by the Hermle Company. Hermle Movement 451-050H FHS (Franz Hermle & Sons) is a Hermle Mechanical Clock Movement still being produced today. The plate size measures 120 x 120 mm and has a 33.2 mm hand shaft length. The Hermle 451-050H features an 8-day, Westminster chime, key wound, auto-beat escapement and 8 hammers at the back of the movement. This product is available with 75 cm, 85 cm, 94 cm and 114 cm long pendulum (yours is 84). This movement features: 8 Hammers at the Back, Plate size 120 x 120 mm, 8-day duration, Westminster chime and chain driven weights. The weights are manually pulled up onto the sprocket gearing inside the movement to wind the clock and chimes. There is a 94cm long, temperature compensating, gridiron pendulum rod with large round brass bob and a polished lyre shaped ornament on the rod above the bob - purely for ornamental purposes. The condition of the clock is excellent. The prices of such clocks have fallen over the past two decades and rather significantly. . .

It was my pleasure to be of service to you today.
My fair market appraisal is based on actual recent past comparable sales recorded at auctions of similar American furniture company grandfather clock cases fitted with German movements. These types of Hall clocks,neither vintage, nor antique can bring anywhere from $50 to $250 depending on the amount of carvings or bells and whistles. Retail "asking prices" can, of course, be significantly higher and vary.
Best regards,
David
