Henry Loomis reeded column & splat, 1830-1835.  A second example from this rare maker, this one in an unusual style with reeded mahogany columns and a jester-style mahogany splat on the 30-inch case.  The finish on this clock is absolutely gorgeous.  The dial glass is a replacement, the tablet original. The dial and hands are also likely original. The 30-hour wooden movement is running and striking perfectly, with two iron weights and an old pendulum bob.  There is a good label inside.  This clock sold at Fontaine’s in Pittsfield MA in 2012 for $3000.  $750-$2500.
