Catalog Description:

C.1820, Massachusetts Tall Clock, cherry case, with original painted dial movement. The case was refinished around 30 years ago and the fellow put the hood columns on upside down so that the stop fluting is hanging down; the fluting in the trunk side columns rises from the bottom as is proper. This is a relatively easy situation to correct. The base molding has plenty of scuff marks and there is no evidence the case ever had feet. The top fret, chimneys and finials are recent. Escutcheons are absent from both doors and lock is missing from the bottom door. The well made movement retains original Wilson dial and false plate. Original paint is on the dial with rose corners and a bird in the arch. Calendar disc has been repainted. Has original pendulum and tin canister weights. A relatively nice unsigned New England clock. Height 87 inches
