Jeromes’ & Darrow pillar & scroll, 1828-1833.  This trio was not known for pillar & scroll clocks; in fact, I can only find two listings in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, both of which have the “jester” scroll top. Interestingly, the scroll top on this clock looks like a very old replacement; the scrolls do not curl backward, as is common, and have not been repaired.  Nonetheless, the urn finials are wood, as Jeromes’ and Darrow used on their other clocks; it is 30.5 inches tall to the top of the center finial.  The mahogany veneer has some cracks and a significant loss at the lower left corner of the door; there is a makeshift handle in the ivory escutcheon.  The dial glass is newer, the lower glass old but has been out of the door; the tablet was repainted by Mr. Moberg.  The dial board has some noticeable losses but is otherwise clean and bright; the hands are thick and hand-made.  The 30-hour time-and-strike wooden movement is running and striking with authority. There are two old weights and an old pendulum bob, and a good label inside.  An uncommon clock from these well-known and important makers.  $250-$500.
