with restorations. This case has been refinished (not the faux shell columns), and there are small veneer chips on the doors, base and the top cornice. Someone has tried to clean the dial and touch up the gold work (not well done). The mirrors and tablet are replacements. The dial glass is old but has been out of the door. The clock has an interesting label. It was made by Jeromes and Darrow, and part of the overpasted label of T.M. Roberts for E. C. Brewster has been torn away to reveal the original maker of the clock. This is a very early clock in the Brewster sales effort, and of course represents the last gasp use of wood movements in a double deck case. Height 22"
