Bidspirit auction | AMERICAN CLASSICAL TALL CASE CLOCK

AMERICAN CLASSICAL TALL CASE CLOCK - Probably Midwestern, c. 1840, mahogany and walnut. Of stout proportions, with mahogany veneer, and with a monumental cornice. The brass movement has its original painted dial, including a romantic landscape with figures in the dial arch. 96.125” high, cornice is 31” wide. The proportions, the cornice, and the use of walnut secondary wood suggest that this case was made by a craftsman of German extract, possibly in Ohio or Indiana, or Missouri. Provenance: a distinguished clock collection. NOTE: We are happy to answer questions and take additional photos of lots prior to the auction (the sooner submitted the better).

Condition: Original finish, a few veneer repairs, retains weights, pendulum, and key. There are added adjusters to the feet, so this clock possibly can fit, barely, in a room with 8' ceilings. The seller asserts that this is in working order, but it has not been tested, and we do not guarantee the working order of clocks and watches.
