Antique American Clocks
Welch, Spring & Co. "Audran, B.W.",
An absolutely beautiful walnut case
cleaned and polished, 31.5-inches tall with carvings all over the front.
The dial glass is original, the calendar glass old
and likely original.
Both dials are glossy paper in good condition; the weekday hand is a replacement, the other hands are correct.
The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is unsigned but it has the Welch club tooth escapement; the B.B. Lewis calendar mechanism is working
and there is a good label on the cover.
There is black flocking on the inside.
These models always look attractive, but
this is the nicest one I can recall.
Horton's sold one in 2019 for $1480.
$1200-$1500.
