C.1832, Atkins & Downs for George Mitchell, Bristol, Conn., 30-hour time/strike wood movement shelf clock.

C.1832, Atkins & Downs for George Mitchell, Bristol, Conn., 30-hour time/strike wood movement shelf clock. This short case has gilt feet, flame style gilt finials and a gilt gesso eagle. The half columns show the evidence of gilding with some loss; aged finish is over the gilding on the finials and eagle. The painted tablet is original but has some paint loss that is restorable. There a couple of veneer chips on the case, and other veneer repairs. The dial has age cracks but is in otherwise good condition. Label is good, but with oil stain. Generally a good example of a short transition clock. Height 30 inches
