C.1832, Abiel Chandler, Concord, New Hampshire, 8-day time/strike mahogany mirror clock in very fine condition with old finish.
The case is of dovetailed construction with a single piece pine backboard. The columns are unusual with a kind of sand like finish which appears to be original as the gilding is original. The original painted iron dial is very nice with just a little paint loss around the mounting screws. The hands are original. The dial tablet is very old and appears also to be original (great swirl pattern and fish eyes in the glass). The mirror is a replacement. The rat-trap striking movement is original and is of the type made by Chandler. This clock has an original & exceptional label inside the case. Examples of this movement, label and case design can be found in Charles S. Parson's book on "New Hampshire Clocks and Clockmakers", page 215. Hung in Ned Howard's parlor. Height 32.5 inches
