Rodney Brace column & cornice, ca. 1825.
Best known for his use of Torrington horizontal
movements, but he also used standard movements as found here.
Note that this wooden movement includes an alarm that strikes
a bell on top.
The mahogany-veneered case is 33 inches tall with a dark polished finish and just a few abrasions and repairs;

The dial glass is newer, the lower glass removed from the case and repainted by Lee Davis

The small wooden dial is in good shape, the hands replacements.
This is a 30-hour clock that
will run for a few hours before stopping; the alarm was untested.
