Antique American Clocks
Birge & Fuller column & cornice shelf clock, 1844-1848.
This style of clock was made
almost exclusively by Birge & Fuller.
These guys are best known for their double steeples, but they also made triple deckers
(mostly with a fixed center panel) and these column & cornices.
I particularly like the ones, like this one, that have a
Fenn-style tablet.
Both glasses are old and likely original; the veneer is mahogany, as are the columns.
Certainly the
32-inch case has been cleaned and polished.
The dial is wood with some losses, the hands are the proper style.
8-day, strap-brass movement is signed Birge & Fuller and is running and striking without issue, driven by two period iron weights
and regulated by an embossed pendulum bob.
A decent label inside, along with a handwritten note on provenance back to the 1860's.
These uncommon clocks have a simplicity and elegance.
Can I return my clock if I don't like it?
Absolutely!
Save your packing and box, you have 30 days from receipt to return
it if you are unhappy.
If the clock is not as described, or I missed something important and that is not evident from the pictures,
I will refund your shipping costs (both ways) as well.
Find another auction company that does that!
