Description
George Mitchell reeded pillar & scroll, ca. 1825. A 38-inch case with flat reeded columns, a pillar and scroll top, and a clean finish. The top is original with a very old repair to the right scroll top and right bottom, the brass urn finials are solid with cast square post holes. The dial glass is modern, the two lower glasses original with the original tablets, the upper tablet extensively retouched. The lower glass is cracked. The wooden dial has been cleaned and relined/renumbered. The groaner movement, probably by Ephraim Downs, will run briefly and strike. A good label inside. Mitchell sold his clock business in 1832. Schmidt’s Antiques sold this clock in 2022 for $375. $300–$450.
