This cute little clock was marketed by Shreve, Crump and Low of Boston, which is marked on the dial. The walnut case was refinished some time ago and retains all of the brass trimmings (no longer gilded). The porcelain dial has some minor chips around the winding hole, but is otherwise fine. The beveled glass in both doors is excellent (complex bevel on waist pane). The hands are original. The pendulum would have been a small face or sunburst, now a smooth brass bob. Replacement pendulums are available. Height 19.5Ó $750-$1,000
