Antique American Clocks
Mark Leavenworth & Son pillar & scroll, 1825-1829.
The Leavenworths worked out
of Waterbury making exclusively wooden works clocks.
Their clocks are highly sought after.
This is a standard P&S
in excellent condition, 28.5 inches to the scroll-tip.
As best I can tell the case is all original, while the glasses have been
replaced; the tablet is a beautiful painting by Tom Moberg.
I think this is a keeper just for the tablet.
There is an
attractive and clean wood dial, the hands are period.
There is a good label inside, two old 30-hour weights and an old pendulum
bob; the brass urn finials are on wooden sticks and are hollow.
Like all of this collector's wooden works clocks, it is running
and striking.
Horton's sold a similar Leavenworth & Son in 2017 for $600.
