High bid $45.00

Status: Sold

American triple decker weight-driven shelf clock, likely mid 19th century, though no manufacturer's label is visible in the case interior to confirm the maker. The mahogany case features a carved crest of scrolling leaf and shell motifs while below the crown is veneer. Turned columns on both sides, with three glazed tiers comprising the painted metal dial, a middle tablet depicting a red brick house behind a fence with figures and trees, and a lower tablet decorated with gilt scrollwork and shell motifs framing a plain oval reserve. The dial displays Roman numerals with gilt detailing in the corners around a central brass rosette, and the weight-driven movement compartment includes two weights that are not original. The pendulum bob is present but currently not connected. The case, dial, and painted tablets show scattered wear, scuffing, and minor losses consistent with age, with the bun feet remaining intact. Dimensions: 17 1/2"W X 37 3/4"H
