Description
Most books spell this name Morrill, however the original signature on the dial has an unmistakable "e". The substantial cherry case has the pleasant proportions of New England casemakers, striking because of its birdseye maple door. The trunk with reeded quarter columns with brass capitals and the hood with matching columns and hardware. The original painted dial has a bouquet of flowers in each corner, and with original rolling moon. The dial is crazed, some minor chips and detail losses; and the globes have faded (still excellent). Top fret appears to be original; finials later replacements. Height 95 inches
