style shelf clock. This a beautiful clock with fully carved pineapple splat. The mahogany columns are spiral wound veneer. There is one tiny veneer chip on the base and small piece missing on the side. The painted tablet is not original but was done on old glass and puttied in place (well done). The dial is beautiful, with cut out to reveal the round plate movement. A picture of this movement can be found in Ken Robert's book on the Contributions of Joseph Ives to Connecticut Clock Technology, page 146. The small S.B. Terry label can be found inside. The case probably had ball feet at one time. Height 36 inches
