C & N Jerome two-door column & cornice, 1834-1839.  This business succeeded Jeromes & Darrow and continued to make some wooden movement clocks, as found here, but soon switched over to Noble’s brass 30-hour movement.  The 32-inch column and cornice case is veneered in mahogany with a clean finish and a few missing veneer segments on the right side edge of the cornice.  The upper columns and the capitals and bases on the lower columns have been painted; it sits on ball feet.  The glasses and mirrors are all later replacements, with a slightly less than professional lower tablet.   The wooden dial is clean with good gilding, the hands are period and proper. The 30-hour time-and-strike wood movement will run briefly and will strike on the iron bell, driven by two 30-hour iron weights. There is a complete but water-stained label inside.  $100–$200.
