This is a very nice example of a “Sharp Gothic,” or “Steeple Clock” made by the Terry & Andrews firm of Bristol, Connecticut. This case is veneered in mahogany and retains a nicely polished finish. The tips of the cones are still nice and sharp. The center section is fitted with a door that is divide in two sections. The lower section of the door is fitted with a wonderful tablet that is original to the clock. It is a William Fenn design. The patriotic theme is a representation of the poplar “E. Pluribus Unum.” The colorfully paint decorated eagle clutches a banner in it’s beak. It’s claws firmly holding arrows and branches. The two American flags crossed at the top leave little doubt that this was painted by a proud American. This is framed in a lovely boarder. This clock has an eight-day time and strike brass movement. It also features an alarm. The plates are designed in a lyre format. It is powered by springs that are wound with a key. The Maker’s label is pasted onto the backboard and is in excellent condition. The dial is also original to this clock and is painted on tin. This case stands approximately 20 inches tall and is 9.75 inches wide. This clock was made circa 1845.
