The Gothic period was relatively short-lived and the tall case clock form was quickly going out of favor, as spring clock works were becoming popular. Consequently, this is a fairly rare form of an old style for its day. The wood case of this clock is fairly elaborate, with Quarter Columns both on its hood and midsection.  The dial is crossbanded
and this clock retains its original spire
finials. The Gothic arch of the hood is
complemented with the arch door, which is
crossbanded and inset with highly figured
mahogany. The quarter columns are
embellished both above and below with arched
inset panels of a yellow burl wood. Below the central door is a
rosewood banded
panel inset with yet a lighter color burl
panel. The lower section of this clock has a
crossbanded base with an inset of highly
figured mahogany.

This clock is stamped by its
maker twice behind the
arched panel door (shown below). The works,
the dial, etc. are all original. This is truly a museum quality clock
due
to its definite maker’s stamp and would make
a worthy addition to any collection of fine
antiques.
