E. Terry & Sons pillar & scroll, 1823-1828. Another immaculately restored clock by Jeff Villet.  There are repairs to the veneer on the scroll top; the brass finials are on wooden posts; both glasses are period/original, with the original tablet in reasonable condition – too soon to replace, hard to touch up.  Note that this tablet image is a classic, reproduced on many clocks by tablet painters.  The wooden dial board is very clean, with fading, but note the unusual spandrels.  The hands are period but the minute hand seems too short. The 30-hour, time-and-strike wooden movement is running and striking (of course), with two period weights, a pendulum bob, a winding crank, and a door key for the working latch.  The tin dust covers on top are period.  This is the last of the six P&S clocks immaculately restored by Jeff Villet in this auction, every one of them a great buy.  Don’t miss this opportunity to get a pillar & scroll with no apologies; you know you’ve always wanted one.  $400-$600.
