A copy of a Chippendale style floor clock
by David Rittenhouse (PA), circa. 1780.

The Empire has a solid mahogany cabinet
with curl veneers and decorative carving.
The scroll pediment is supported by fine
lattice fretwork. The case stands on ogee
feet and features fluted quarter columns
to the trunk and “Corinthian” pillars to the
hood. The hood is removable to allow for
movement adjustment. The cabinet is
hand rubbed and waxed to achieve an
“antique” patina.
