Birge & Fuller candlestick double-steeple with wagon-spring movement, 1844–1848.  A gorgeous example of this highly desirable double steeple.  The case is 26 inches tall, veneered in mahogany with a dark repair on the front at the peak, and lower left of lower door.  The candlesticks look original and have a few nicks.  The dial glass is old, the two door glasses are modern with well-done Fenn designs.  The painted, contoured dial is reasonably clean with old paint and some chipping; the hands are period/original.  The 8-day, time-and-strike wagon-spring movement is die-stamped Birge & Fuller; it is running and striking on the wire gong.  There is a dark and tattered label inside.  AAC has sold four of these in the last four years for an average of $1900, and most recently for $1800.  $1500–$2200.
