Mark Leavenworth & Son pillar & scroll, 1825-1829. The Leavenworths worked out of Waterbury CT making exclusively wooden works clocks. Their clocks are highly sought after. This 30.5-inch clock has a polished finish and good veneer all around. The scrolls, feet, and skirt all look original, with no repairs; there is a crack in the veneer in the door crossbar. The brass urn finials are on wood posts but have screw-in fittings. There are old but not original tin dust covers on the back. The dial glass is an old replacement with old glass, the lower glass is also a replacement, held in place with wooden strips. Most of the period tablet is lost. The wooden dial is clean with painted spandrels, the hands are period and appropriate. The wooden 30-hour time-and-strike movement is running like a champ, striking on the iron bell. There are two period weights and an old pendulum bob, and a good label on the backwall. As always with a Jeff Villet restoration, there is a winding crank and a key and working door lock. $250–$400.
