column and cornice shelf clock, in very good condition. This has a strap-brass rolling pinion movement. The case is veneered in highly figured mahogany, and was refinished long ago, with nice patina. There is veneer missing from the top trim of the cornice molding and some damage along the base. The two tablets have a little flaking, but are great subjects÷ a busy wharf at top and mansion at bottom. The painted dial has a little loss around the winding holes. Way above average for what we find today. Movement dirty and needs cleaning. Height 32 inches
