Status: Sold

Waterbury Clock Company weight-driven ogee clock, with the original printed label inside the case reading "Waterbury Clock Co., Waterbury, Conn., Manufacturers of Eight Day and [Thirty Hour] Brass Clocks & Time Pieces," dating to the mid 19th century. The mahogany veneered ogee case houses a painted metal dial with Roman numerals accented by hand-painted red and green floral sprays in each corner, above a lower door fitted with a reverse-painted glass tablet depicting pink flowers, gilt urn finial, and scattered blossoms on a black ground. The clock is weight driven, and the movement is visible through the open dial door with its brass gearing and pendulum suspension intact. The paper label, dial, and reverse-painted tablet all show age toning, foxing, and wear consistent with the period, and general surface wear to the case veneer. Includes a key that turns properly and the movement appears to work appropriately and chimes at the hour. Overall very good condition for its age and even has its original wood wheels for the weights. Dimensions: 16 1/2"W X 32"H
