Antique American Clocks July 2021
67. $350
Chauncey Ives pillar & scroll, 1824-1830. One of six Ives brothers, his most famous
brother being Joseph. All six made clocks. This pillar & scroll is notable for its originality – with the possible
exception of the dial glass, which may be a very old replacement, and the pendulum bob. The 28-inch mahogany case has been cleaned
and is without repairs or losses that I can see; this includes the feet and scroll-top. The tablet has been touched up very
well, the dial board is clean and simple. The 30-hour wood movement will run for a few minutes, I didn’t push it. There
is a good label inside, and three brass urns on wooden posts. A very nice example. $400-$600.
