Antique American Clocks
Black Forest serpentine Vienna 1-weight, ca. 1860.
A 45-inch dark hardwood case with an elaborately
carved door in the serpentine style.
Note that the door opens at an angle, a feature of early serpentine models.
pieces that I can see, including on the carved crest.
The door glass is newer, there are two side glasses as well.
two-part porcelain dial has some hairline cracks and two fancy hands.
The single-weight 8-day movement is running; the weight
is a bit beaten up.
I can't find a good example of a comparable clock that Horton's has sold of late, but I would expect a nice
example like this to sell for $350-$500.
