| 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. |
