Howard Miller Tambour Mantel Clock, Model 612-437 'Burton'

Story

In 1926, Herman Miller's son Howard founded his own clock company in Michigan. He focused on creating timepieces that brought the grandeur of grandfather clocks onto the family mantelpiece, filling mid-century homes with comforting, melodic chimes.

Maker / Origin

Howard Miller learned the art of clockmaking from his father, Herman Miller, in the historic furniture-making hub of West Michigan. While his father focused on modernist furniture, Howard dedicated his life to horology, building his company into the world's largest manufacturer of grandfather and mantel clocks.

Condition & Value

The wooden case appears to be in excellent cosmetic condition with no visible chips or deep scratches. The dial, hands, and brass bezel are clean and well-preserved, and the original winding key is present. Operational status of the mechanical movement is unverified from the photo, which is the primary factor in final value.
