Antique American Clocks July 2020
146. $300
Wadsworths & Turners pillar & scroll, 1829-1831. A short-lived firm in Litchfield CT making
pillar and scroll clocks after Martins Lounsbury left the original group. I cannot find any sales by these two in the Antique
Clocks Price Guide. It stands 31 inches tall with the wooden finials, with good veneer and two old glasses. The tablet
has been repainted onto the original image, and I think the putty has been replaced on both glasses. The wooden finials are
likely replacements, as I cannot find any examples from these makers where wooden finials are used. There is a support board
added at the back of the base to support the feet. The wooden dial is a bit dark but no significant paint loss. The 30-hour
wooden works movement was reluctant to run and I didn’t press it. Weights included, but the pendulum rod needs to be adjusted. An excellent label inside. $300-$600.
