Description
Refinished mahogany veneered case with some minor loss on the base. Painted wood dial looks to be original, but is cracked across the center with horizontal crazing of the paint, a heavy layer of varnish on both sides and the two stretchers replaced. Hands, bottom tablet and stenciling on the columns are original. The mirror is period, but is most likely a replacement. Bone escutcheon on the door is missing. Nice label inside the case. Has unique movement designed by Heisley. Label notes "Warranted by C. Eaton". Cyrus Eaton was a clock dealer/peddler. Ht 40"
