Description
in walnut, with restoration. The case is in very nice condition; the top left and right "ears" have been replaced long ago (decent job), and the triangular finial at the very bottom also nicely replaced. Fancy pendulum stick has been copied from an old one and nicely done. The entire case was attractively refinished and the gold incising filled in. The upper dial has been repapered, while the lower dial is original. The door glass is original. The case houses a movement made by E. N. Welch (original). The paper on the calendar rollers has been restored as well. See also lot 347a for striking model in ash. Height 37 inches
