Description

Seth Thomas column & splat, ca. 1830. A 28-inch case with brightly bronzed columns and splat and a nicely repainted tablet. Both glasses are old but have been replaced, the dial glass long ago. It appears the clock had finials of some sort, possibly pineapples (a symbol of hospitality in colonial America) and paw feet. The wooden dial shows some losses but has colorful gilded spandrels, with appropriate hands. The 30-hour wooden movement will run briefly, and likely just needs some coaxing; there are two 30-hour weights. There is a pretty good label inside. Not perfect, but certainly attractive. $250-$400.
