Description

Henry Sperry miniature column clock, 1834-1852. A 12-inch grain-painted pine case with half-columns on each side. The columns are also grain-painted, as is the door, but the finish is dark. I believe the dial glass is a modern replacement, the lower glass period/original with a good decalcomania image of a town square. The metal dial holds the original paint with light wear and chipping, the hands are modern replacements. The 30-hour time-only movement will run briefly; there is an interesting embossed pendulum bob and a dark label with some losses. Sperry was a retailer in New York City. $100–$200.
