Marshall &
Adams two-door column & cornice, 1833-1836. Marshall & Adams worked in Seneca Falls NY producing several models
with either wooden works or brass-strap movements. This example contains a 30-hour wooden movement that is running and
striking. The mahogany case is 33 inches tall with an original cornice glass (with some losses), old glass over the door (but
newer putty), and an old/period mirror, with newer putty holding it in place. There are two lower carved half-columns, ivory
escutcheons, and good veneer in need of cleaning/waxing. There are some missing pieces on the side edges and base. The
wood dial is clean with good gilding and proper hands. There is a good label inside that says they used brass bushings – I see
one brass bushing, the other pivots have been rebushed. AAC sold a similar example two years ago for $250. $200–$400.
