Antique American Clocks
Eli Terry & Sons pillar & scroll, 1823-1831.
A clean finish on this example,
with no veneer repairs but the ivory escutcheon is broken.
Latch and key work.
The feet have been reinforced but look
original; the scroll top has been repaired more than once and strengthened from behind.
The brass urn finials are heavy with
metal posts.
There is a tin dust cover behind the movement.
The dial glass is old but held in with wooden strips; the
tablet is likely repainted on the original glass.
The wooden dial has been touched up nicely, the hands are usually seen on
later clocks.
The 30-hour wooden movement will run for a while and strikes as expected, driven by two old weights.
but readable label.
Overall, a pretty good example.
