this is a nice example of a clock that has been thoroughly restored. Mahogany veneered doors and flat areas have been redone. The columns, splat and feet have been re-gilded. Feet, top blocks and tablets are new. Eagle splat looks to be old. Dial has been repainted on the original blank. Tablets new. Hands are of the proper design, but are new. Large strap brass movement with roller pinions is clean and in good running order. This is what a 3-decker must have looked like when it was brand new. Height 39 inches
