Chauncey Jerome column & cornice, ca. 1850.  The label and movement are labeled New Haven, dating this clock to sometime after 1845. The 26.5-inch case is veneered in rosewood with some nicks and scratches and a veneer repair on the front base.  The columns are grain-painted.  The glasses are period and may be original; the tablets are outstanding – “By industry we thrive”. The wood dial is clean and signed, “Chauncey Jerome, New Haven Conn”; the hands are period/original and found on similar examples. The 30-hour weight-driven movement is signed, time-and-strike on a wire gong; it runs only briefly and will need service.  There is a bright label inside.  AAC sold a similar example in 2022 for $341.  $250–$400.
