Rosewood Gothic Style Astronomical
Regulator by George Jones, c. 1870

 

This month we have pulled a remarkable rabbit out of the hat.  This clock is one of the most unusual and beautiful American regulators we have come across and represents the fourth and perhaps rarest George Jones Astro we have had the privilege to offer.

The Brazilian Rosewood American gothic case is a stunning combination of spectacular wood grain, excellent proportions, and refined style.  The workmanship is exceptional and the bold 18” engraved silver dial commands attention, as does the ornately etched and signed three jar mercury pendulum.

Few collections or museums will ever have the opportunity to house a clock of this style by one of America’s most important Victorian clockmakers.

One year warranty.  Dimensions:  8’6” high, circa 1870.

Offered at $79,500.
