Marshall & Adams two-door column & cornice, 1833-1836. Marshall & Adams worked in Seneca Falls NY producing several models with either wooden works or strap-brass movements. This example contains a 30-hour wooden movement that is running and striking. The figured mahogany case is 33 inches tall with carved half-columns flanking the lower door. There is a proper cornice glass, the original dial glass, and a period or later mirror in the bottom door. Both ivory escutcheons have working latches and keys. The wooden dial is clean with gilding and is the typical grey/green color of Marshall and Adams clocks. The hands are period and appropriate. The wooden 30-hour time-and-strike movement was likely made by the Jeromes and has brass bushings, as advertised on the label. It is running and striking without issue, driven by two period weights and a period pendulum bob. There is a good label inside. Marshall and Adams were prolific during their short time together and many of these attractive clocks still exist; AAC has sold five over the past five years for an average of $243. $175–$300.
