C.1840, Williams, Orton, Preston's and Co., Farmington, Conn., 8-day time/strike column and cornice shelf clock
with heavy restoration. This is a very pretty clock with the use of highly figured mahogany veneer. The veneer is in exceptionally nice condition with a couple of chips on the cornice, on the base and some minor veneer repair on the cornice. This is a veneer blister on the left column. The clock retains its original S. B. Terry brass movement with a round front plate and square back; there is an old block of wood attached behind the backboard to help hold the movement in the case (been there 100 years). Both dial and movement have been repositioned in the case. The painted dial has a little paint loss near the upper right spandrel. The two tablets are replacements, but done on old glass. The hands are new. Proper label touts brass movement. Height 35.5. inches
