Description
Brass clock, with Jerome's inside rack movement. This is a nice Empire case with full round columns and carved Corinthian capitals. Above the dial is a hand painted wooden insert÷it's original with gesso and gilt decorations. The original dial has minor paint loss and some wear in the 7 to 11 quadrant from setting the hands. The label has some perimeter losses but is fully legible. There are some small veneer repairs and others needing attention, but overall the case is very good. Cooperman acquired this clock from Ed LaFond, and it is shown in Bailey's "200 Years of American Clocks and Watches", page 143. Height 38 inches
