Eli Terry & Sons pillar & scroll, 1823-1831.  A second example by Mr. Terry and his sons.  The 31.5-inch case with the brass urn finials has good veneer with a light patina. Both scrolls have been repaired; the feet and skirt look original, with a missing skirt tip on the right side.  The brass finials are old and are mounted on steel posts; the key and latch don’t work together.  The dial glass may be an old replacement, the tablet and tablet glass are original.  The glass has several cracks emanating from the lower right.  The iconic tablet is well worth preserving.  The dial board has good color in the spandrels and is clean, the hands period/original.  The 30-hour time-and-strike wooden movement will run briefly and will strike, with two old weights.  There is a good label on the back wall. No dust covers on this example.  $400-$600.
