Description
This is a very nice example, with tiger maple sides and mahogany front moldings, and the restorer has reapplied the finish with great care to match the appearance of museum examples. The tablets were professionally repainted maybe 25 years ago, and are similar to the pattern shown in Horology Americana, page 44. The basic case, base molding, feet and fret and the same as that example as well. There is a cast iron weight with the clock that is probably late 19th century, and works fine to power the clock. The movement is original to the case, and matches research examples in every respect. Our estimate considers the restorations done, and this is a good opportunity to buy a legitimate Willard clock at an affordable price. Height 37 inches
