Seth Thomas column & splat, ca. 1830.  A 29-inch case with good veneer and the stenciling on the bronzed columns and splat remains bright.  Both glasses are original, with the original putty; I believe the tablet was repainted long ago and has a stable crack on the left side.  Note the claw feet in front and the turned feet in back.  The wooden dial has been professionally retouched; the hands are replacements.  The 30-hour wooden movement runs but stops suddenly, suggesting a gear tooth problem; there are two 30-hour weights.  There is a good label inside.  This is a great example of Thomas’ early work.  $200-$400.
