Description
Jerome & Co. gilt cottage, ca. 1860. A 12-inch case with good rosewood veneer and a glossy finish. The gilding around the door has been replaced; both glasses are likely original, with the gilt pattern on the lower glass original. The flat dial holds the original paint, the hands are mismatches. The 30-hour time-and-strike movement is unsigned; it is running and striking on a wire gong. There is a label inside but the maker’s name is mostly obscured by the gong base. $25–$75.
