a reeded pilaster and scroll top case (diminutive size), in generally good condition. The clock has tiger maple veneer behind the pilasters. The original dial tablet is flaking. The lower tablet should be painted; now an old mirror. The case originally had finials on both sides, now lacking, replacements are available. The unique Ives movement is the large roller pinion job with steel plates and brass bushings, but geared for a short pendulum that swings visibly below the 6. This example is smaller then the standard version (std is around 57 inches tall). Refer to Ken Robert's book on Ives, pages 45-49. A very pretty and different Ives clock. Height 51 inches1 inches
