Antique American Clocks
Jeromes' & Darrow pillar & scroll, 1828-1833.
This trio was not known for pillar &
scroll clocks; in fact, I can only find two listings in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, both of which have the "jester" scroll top.
Interestingly, the scroll top on this clock looks like a very old replacement; the scrolls do not curl backward, as is common, and
have not been repaired.
Nonetheless, the urn finials are wood, as Jeromes' and Darrow used on their other clocks; it is 30.5
inches tall to the top of the center finial.
The mahogany veneer has some cracks and a significant loss at the lower left corner
of the door; there is a makeshift handle in the ivory escutcheon.
The dial glass is newer, the lower glass old but has been
out of the door; the tablet was repainted by Mr. Moberg.
The dial board has some noticeable losses but is otherwise clean and
bright; the hands are thick and hand-made.
The 30-hour time-and-strike wooden movement is running and striking with authority.
There are two old weights and an old pendulum bob, and a good label inside.
