Antique American Clocks
Barnes, Bartholomew & Co. 8-day shelf clock, 1833-1836.
An early brass movement clock in
an unusual case - I cannot find another BB&Co with this style of cornice (although it certainly looks original from the front
The case is 35 inches tall with a dark mahogany veneer, old finish, four carved half-columns and two short full columns
flanking the middle mirror.
Everything looks original: the two glasses (the tablet was repainted in the door), the mirror, and
the wooden dial.
The hour hand is likely original, the minute hand a proper replacement.
The strap-brass movement is unsigned,
with early style wheels; it is running and striking the wire gong.
There are two old iron weights and an old pendulum bob, but
no evidence of a label.
I asked for input on the Antique American Clocks
Facebook page
and the experts were clear that this
was a BB&Co clock.
