Antique American Clocks
Birge, Mallory & Co. triple decker, 1838-1843.
A wonderfully restored 8-day shelf
clock, 36.5 inches tall.
The mahogany veneer is clean, the period gesso eagle on top has been refinished in some way, as have
the gold columns and capitals.
The wood columns have a faux finish applied.
All three glasses are modern with nicely repainted
The wooden dial has been repainted as well; the hands are likely original.
The signed, 8-day time-and-strike
strap brass movement is running and striking on the iron bell; there is a good label inside and two old weights.
Horton's sold this clock two years ago for $300.
