A superb copy of a Simon Willard tall clock
made in Roxbury (MA) in the English
Colonial style, circa. 1790. Extensive use of chequered edgeline and corner
inlays enhances the superb flame mahogany
veneers of the Chatham. The break arch pediment is
decorated with pierced and blind fretwork. The
cabinet 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.
