Description
Condition: Stripped mahogany veneered case is in very nice condition with some repairs. The scrolls are original with one ear having been repaired. There is a veneer repair to the door that needs more expert care. The feet have been shortened and the back feet on both sides have been replaced. One side return on the top has been replaced. The original tablet has been inpainted in places and needs attention to correct the poor job. The dial has stress loss to the paint. The movement is not original to the case (Terry type, but not Seth Thomas). The Terry type finials are new and wrong replacements for this maker. Still has a commercial look for someone who wants a "decorator" scroll, or look for ST movement. Height 31 inches
