Status: Sold

Weight-driven shelf clock manufactured by Seymour, Hall & Co., with the original printed label inside the case crediting the patent to Eli Terry and bearing a spread-eagle, dating to the mid 19th century. The mahogany case features an arched crest above split columns with black finish, and the lower section of the glazed door reveals the original paper label along with a small mirrored tablet in the middle glass panel. The paper dial displays Roman numerals with floral sprays of red and green in each corner, and the weight-driven movement is visible through the open door with its weights, pendulum bob, and suspension cord intact, accompanied by its original crank-style winding key. The key turns appropriately and the movement chimes accordingly at the hour mark. The back of the clock has been replaced. Dimensions: 16'W X 32"H
