High bid $45.00

Status: Sold

Chauncey Jerome of Bristol, Conn. produced this mahogany-veneered ogee case shelf clock, featuring an open-center painted metal dial with black Roman numerals and hand-painted floral corner decoration surrounding the visible brass movement, and a lower reverse-painted glass tablet depicting a weeping willow before a red-roofed house. Interior labl affixed to the case back reads "BRASS CLOCKS, MADE AND SOLD BY CHAUNCEY JEROME, BRISTOL, CONN., WARRANTED GOOD," complete with original printed setting and regulating instructions, though the label shows toning, staining, and wear consistent with age. Movement is weight-driven, eight-day time-and-strike, with the pair of original cast iron drive weights included and shown separately alongside the winding crank key. Case shows an aged mahogany veneer with some surface wear, staining, and scuffing to the finish, while the dial and tablet glass remain intact and present. The movement appears in good condition and the key turns accordingly. Dimensions: 15 1/2"W X 25 3/4"H
