Korfhage tall case clock.

Korfhage tall case clock. This is not a maker you hear much about but the quality is right up there with the best. See Tran Duy Ly's "Longcase Clocks" book for illustrations of this company's movements, dials and cases. The Charles Korfhage company was located on 12 Dutch Street in New York City from 1877 through the early 1900's. I purchased this clock directly from the family that had owned it since it was purchased on July 6th, 1903 and it comes with some documentation about its history. It has been wonderfully cared for all these years and is just about perfect in all respects. Solid mahogany case, brass and silvered dial. Original hands, pendulum, weights, door key, winding key - everything is there. The only flaw is some bubbling in the veneer on the left side. This is an 8 day clock with two weights but it plays Westminster chimes on the quarter hours on 4 gongs and strikes the hours on a 5th larger gong. Recently serviced and in good running order. 7' 10" tall.
