E. & G.W. Bartholomew 30-hour shelf clock, 1829-1833.  A second example from these cousins, this one a traditional column & splat with a varnished finish and bright stenciling on the half-columns and splat.  I think the stenciling may have been strengthened on the splat, but it looks great.  The case is 27 inches tall with the carved pineapple finials; the dial glass is modern, the lower glass old, but a replacement with a beautiful and traditional eglomise painting and a gilded border.  The wood dial is clean, the hands appropriate and period.  The 30-hour time-and-strike wooden movement will run briefly and will strike, with two period weights.  There is a good label inside. This is a smaller size clock with a beautiful finish and tablet; what’s not to like?  AAC sold a similar example in 2023 for $500.  $150–$300.
