Antique American Clocks
Henry Loomis carved column & splat, 1830-1835.
A very rare maker, with only one listing in the
Antique Clocks Price Guide, a pillar & scroll, and one sale on LiveAuctioneers (now #197).
The 30-inch case has mahogany
veneer in excellent condition, two carved half-columns, and a carved splat and pineapple finials that I think are period but not necessarily
A top right leaf has been broken off and reglued.
There are period claw feet in front and turned feet in back.
Both glasses are period replacements poorly puttied into place; most of the image is lost on the tablet, but the gold leaf border
The wooden dial is clean and attractive, the hands appropriate.
The 30-hour wooden movement will strike when
the weights are hung but will not run.
There is a nice label inside.
$250-$1000.
