the movement, case head, and bottom baffle appear to be from Massachusetts, mid 19th century, balance maybe circa 1900, and sidearms and dial perhaps more recent. However the current owner has had the clock for 30 years, and the clock comes with the original set of tablets that he replaced with a Perry's victory set. Whoever did the gilding, purposely distressed it to make it appear older. Carved eagle is especially fine. Seems to run OK. Overall an interesting clock with lots of decorator appeal. Height 43 inches
