C.1832, Atkins and Downs for George Mitchell, Bristol, Conn., 8-day time/strike wood movement triple-decker shelf clock. The veneer is in very nice condition with minor losses on the base and a chip on the upper corner . The upper door was replaced at some time, and the veneer pattern does not match the bottom door (color matches OK). Top door has a keyhole and escutcheon but no lock was ever installed. The columns have lost a fair amount of gilt and graining. The lower tablet is original with flaking of the paint. The dial is in very good condition. The gilt eagle has minor losses. Still quite uncommon to find a wooden works triple deck, and a bigger bonus that it is 8-day. Note this is the Jeromes and Darrow type movement, deeper and with small arbors to take the extra turns. Height 37.75 inches
