Joseph Ives New England mirror clock, ca. 1820. An iconic clock from an important inventor in the early 1800’s. The mahogany-veneered case is 58 inches tall with the center finial. The dial glass is original but cracked, and the dial surround is badly touched up and needs to be repainted or replaced. The mirror is an early twentieth century replacement; the lower tablet has been repainted on old glass and puttied into place. The painted dial is period and may be original; the hands are original. The interior of the case is candle-smoked. The 8-day, time-and-strike movement was made by Ives; I cannot keep it running and the strike is not operating correctly. The 9-lb weights are appropriate but not likely original. This clock sold at Cottone’s for $1500 in 2018. $1200-$1500.
