Seth Thomas Clock Co. large mantle clock, empire style that some call a triple deck, but in the ST books it is called simply, "Column Gilt". The large rosewood veneered case is 32" high, has large half columns with stripped gold gilt, sleigh front base, and cornice top, all in very nice condition. There is some wear or deterioration of the gold on the columns and a few tiny paint flakes on the painted glasses, but overall the clock is very nice. Inside is a very dark, but complete paper label indicating it was made at Plymouth Hollow. That would date the clock prior to 1865. Signed 8 day brass movement, coil gong, nice painted dial, old hands, brass pendulum bob, and a pair of old iron weights. The three glasses are original and it would appear the rest of the clock is also original. LySeth Thomas No. 1711. Nice examples of this model have been selling near $1000 for several years but if you have any money left you can probably buy this excellent clock for something less.
