Mahogany triple-decker shelf clock features a stepped cornice top above full round columns flanking a two-door case, with a square painted dial bearing black Roman numerals and blue scrollwork corner decoration in the upper section. The middle tablet is a detailed depiction of a stately home labeled "Residence of Brown E., Bristol, Ct.," while the lower tablet depicts an English-style manor house with a reflecting pond. Inside, the case retains a period paper label reading "M. Welton's Improved Clocks," along with a later retailer's label from "J.H. Macke, Watchmaker and Jeweler, Baltimore, MD," and houses a weight-driven movement with a brass pendulum bob. The veneer case has honest wear on edges and near door closure. The movement chimes on the hour and is in good condition. Includes a key that turns properly. Includes two weights with proper movement. Overall in very good condition for its age. Dimensions: 21"W X 34"H
