151.      $1800

Unknown maker miniature pillar & scroll, ca. 1825?  A diminutive mahogany case, 24 inches tall with the small center brass urn finial.  Good veneer with some splitting on the door.  Dial glass appears to be a replacement, the lower glass is old and may have been out of the door to be repainted; both are held in place with glazer’s points. The dial is iron with original paint in good condition, the hands period.  The unsigned brass, solid plate movement is time-and-strike with a rack and snail strike mechanism; the weight cords are missing and so are the weights, so I can’t tell you if it runs or for how long (you can buy a set of 30-hour weights for $15 - #907 in Parts).  No label and no evidence of a label.  This clock last sold at Cottone’s in 2019 for $2400.  $2000-$2400.
