Wm. Ballard bracket timepiece, ca. 1830.  A 17-inch peaked case veneered in flame mahogany from the early 1800’s with no significant chips or cracks.  The signed dial was repainted by The Dial House, the dial glass and hands original.  Hoops on the sides, brass ball feet and glass in the back door.  The heavy brass plate fusee, time-only movement is unsigned but typical of Ballard’s design.  It is running after professional servicing.  It sits on its matching 12-inch bracket shelf, a rare find.  There are keys for the front and back doors.  Clocks from this maker sell for upwards of $2000.  $1500-$2500.
