A very attractive American jewellers regulator, dating to the 1880’s using a French pinwheel movement. Â It was veryÂ typical of American clock manufacturers to import and outfit their cases with these French movements. Â The case is of very high qualityÂ featuring burled walnut accents, glass sides, mirrored back and heavily carved decoration.Â
Â Usually, you will find this style of jewellers regulator using a “Gridiron” or “Lyre” style pendulum, this clock uses a very attractive deluxe 3-Jar mercury pendulum. Â Originally, the glass jars would have contained actual mercury – it has been removedÂ and replaced with polished steel cylinders of equal weight for obvious reasons. Â
CONDITION:Â
Â The clock runs strong and keeps excellent time. Â The dial is free of hairlines, chips, touch-ups or restoration. Â The door shuts flush and latches properly. Â The two upper finials and bottom finial appear to have been added at a later date and could be removed if desired. Â
All parts including the movement, mounting brackets, dial, brass dial surround, pendulum, weight and hands appear correct and original to the case. Â This clock has not been monkeyed with, as so many clocks from this era have been. Â
The case is free of missing or replaced veneer, splits, cracked glass, and damage. Â There are a few light scratches, dents to the lower inside of the case – nothing noticeable or visually distracting. Â
Measures : 72 inches tall – 29 inches wide – 10 inches deep. Leonard Johnson Collection.
