A oak or chestnut veneer "Arch Top" model by Seth Thomas dating about One of Seth Thomas' most expensive mantel clocks, costing $7.50 when originally made in the 1870s. Seems like little, but at that time most shelf clocks cost about $2.00 and change. Certainly one of the most popular collected models made, probably due to their beauty of the case and its high quality. This features a "Lyre" type movement running eight days and striking on a coiled gong. Restored dial an ...click for details

An unusually large French made portico clock; and the largest we have seen with the novel swing pendulum device that was patented by Forcot of Paris in 1862. When running the cupid pendulum swings to and fro- as if really swinging on a swing- instead or sideways. The ormolu mounts are of very good to best quality castings, and have not been removed to be cleaned or re plated- they don't seem to need it since the original surface can be appreciated despite the accumulation of some discolorati ...click for details

An important late Chippendale tall case clock by the well-listed maker Griffith Owen. Owen's career as a clockmaker spanned at least 24 years, between 1790- 1814; but this example, signed as made in "Montgomery County", a county within the Philadelphia area, was no doubt made early in his career before he moved his location into Philadelphia at #70 Mulberry St in Philadelphia. An outstanding example of the bold use of Chippendale design derived from the English standard but with de ...click for details
