Chauncey & Noble Jerome round-side shelf clock, 1834-1839.  This is an early brass movement clock from the brothers who invented and marketed inexpensive brass movements.  It stands 22 inches tall with clean, unpolished mahogany veneer.  Both glasses are likely original with excellent retention of the eglomise paintings.  The round dial is an aluminum replacement; the hands are not original.  The interior of the case retains the blue painted paper and the typical card label.  There are two square weights to drive the 30-hour time-and-strike unsigned movement, and it is running and striking a wire gong without problem.  The movement is very similar to, but probably a later edition of the first Jeromes’ movements, as shown in Ly’s book American Clocks, Vol. 3.  AAC sold two in 2020 for $225 and $302.  $100–$225.
