C.1830, Ephraim Downs, Bristol, Conn., 30-hour time/strike wood movement shelf clock. The refinished mahogany veneered case is nice condition, but the veneer in the cross strip in the door is cracked and lifted in places and will need attention. Both glasses are original. The tablet is cracked and has had some restoration to retard the paint from flaking. The dial is in very nice condition some fading of the flowers in the spandrels. The stenciling is original. The most unusual thing about this clock is the feet. Retains original carved feet on the front (unusual & carved all around), and original turned feet on the rear. The clock has a nice set of carved pineapple finials. The label is dark but readable. An attractive and uncommon clock. Height 29 inches
