EN Welch Co. parlor shelf clock, ca. 1890. A 23.5-inch walnut case with burled veneer on the door, ornate carvings, and gilded incisings. This model does not appear in Ly’s book on Welch Clocks, Second Edition, and I suspect it was a special order for a business, as the Welch-style pendulum bears the letters ‘B & D’. The case has been immaculately refinished and the gilding reinforced. The glass, as well as the two side glasses, are original. The paper dial is a replacement, the hands appropriate; the 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed E.N. Welch, looks to be original to the case, and is running and striking on a shiny brass bell. No label, or evidence of a label. This is a higher-end shelf clock. $100–$250.
