Cast in solid sand-cast iron by the Connecticut Foundry Company of Rocky Hill, Connecticut, the piece features a rich multi-color palette—slate blue sails, fiery orange pennants, and a verdigris-toned hull—that provides an elevated sculptural presence for a desk, library shelf, or mantel. Combining functional heavy casting with horological utility, this piece reflects the 1920s–1930s American decorative trend of integrating precision clockworks into high-relief iron artware.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eType\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Antique Cast Iron Galleon Ship Mantel Clock Frame with Clock Insert\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIron Foundry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Connecticut Foundry Co.
