Description:

UNITED STATES CLOCK CO. ASTRONOMICAL FLOOR CLOCK. Regulator "D" style carved walnut case with a bonnet top and a figural maiden head in the crest. This is a massive floor clock, standing over 9 feet tall. This model clock is so rare that it is the first one we've seen in over 30 years of selling clocks. Limited documentation shows that "little is known of this firm which produced a line of high grade regulators around 1870 and sold them through the depot of "Terhune & Edwards" located at 18 Cortlandt St. in New York City. The case has an old refinish and is in excellent condition. The 14"silvered dial is dirty and has some staining. It would benefit from a professional cleaning. Original weight and compensating brass pendulum, the glass jar is a replacement. Jeweled pallets with maintaining power. A large trapezoidal brass 8 day time only movement with deadbeat escapement that beats seconds. 36"W x 110"H x 14"D. Estimated Value $30,000 - 50,000.
