Bronze looking, glass shelf clock
The case consisted of a top slat on which was a stencilled design, applied with a bronze pigment, usually consisting of a bowl of fruit and cornucopia or a patriotic eagle and on the lower panel of the case door, a mirror or looking glass. This style of mahogany-veneer case contained a 30-hour weight-driven wooden movement and a painted wooden dial. It was introduced in 1828 by the firm of Jerome & Darrow and almost instantly became the most popular case style made in Connecticut, causing the demise of the more graceful pillar and scroll by 1830.
