Description
Williams, Orton & Preston 30-hour empire shelf clock, 1837-1843. A 29-inch case with mahogany veneer, two original glasses and a replacement mirror. There is a crack in the lower right corner of the dial glass. The finish is clean and old; the original tablet has been retouched extensively. The wooden dial is clean with interesting period hands. The 30-hour wooden movement is running but the strike is not regulating properly. There are two old weights and a period pendulum bob; the label is missing a large piece but the makers are evident. $150–$300.
