Pennsylvania/Amish tall case, ca. 1825?  A 90-inch refinished cherry case with a wooden plate pull-up movement, suggesting German/Pennsylvanian heritage, and the clock came out of a town near Philadelphia. The case likely was painted originally, but the cherry case with ebony trim has a great country look; note that the glass is missing from the hood door and the right side of the base has a large vertical split.  The painted wooden dial shows flowers in the arch with some staining and warping and sits behind a contrasting wooden frame which is probably not original. The 30-hour time-and-strike movement is mounted to the dial with hook and eyelets.  There are chains for the two cone-shaped tin weights, filled with shot. The clock runs erratically, and the strike is unreliable.  An attractive decorative piece, I think.  $250-$500.
