Antique American Clocks
JC Brown ripple-front cottage, 1842-1849.
A 15-inch cottage clock veneered in mahogany
(or walnut?) with ripple trim on the front of the base.
Both glasses are period/original, with a gilt design backed in black.
Unfortunately, the dial is a modern replacement, as are the period-appropriate hands.
The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is
signed "J.C. Brown | Forestville USA" and is running and striking a wire gong as expected.
There is a beat-up green label inside
that does not designate a company, indicating that this clock was made while Brown worked under his own name.
