Rodney Brace column & cornice, ca. 1825.  Best known for his use of Torrington horizontal movements, but he also used standard movements as found here.  Note that this wooden movement includes an alarm that strikes a bell on top.  The mahogany-veneered case is 33 inches tall with a dark polished finish and just a few abrasions and repairs; not bad for a 195-year-old clock.  The dial glass is newer, the lower glass removed from the case and repainted by Lee Davis – you gotta like his work.  The small wooden dial is in good shape, the hands replacements.  This is a 30-hour clock that will run for a few hours before stopping; the alarm was untested.  A good label inside.  There are a number of examples of this style of clock with alarm by Brace in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, the most recent sale being at Schmitt’s in 2017 for $475.  $450-$600.
