Joseph Ives, Brooklyn, New York, 8 day, time and strike, weight driven brass and iron plate movement wall clock. This is an unusual example as these clocks were made and sold as a looking glass clock, but this one has a crotch mahogany panel instead.

Joseph Ives, Brooklyn, New York, 8 day, time and strike, weight driven brass and iron plate movement wall clock. This is an unusual example as these clocks were made and sold as a looking glass clock, but this one has a crotch mahogany panel instead. Mahogany and mahogany veneered case in an old finish has had some veneer repairs on the base, the sides and top below the crest. The unusual crest is birdseye maple and the case has twist mahogany full columns. Original dial has been repainted. Tablet is a later replacement. Original interior paint and on back of door panel suggests the panel is correct. Original hands. There is some damage to the minute hand. Lower right dial post will need to be reattached to front movement plate.
