A style of clock frequently called half-clock or box-on-box. The upper portion with dial rested on feet on a separate lower section which contained the pendulum. A similar design developed into the case-on-case style. Basically, this was an English bracket case above and a large supporting base to contain the pendulum and weights below. This style became popular during the 1820s; examples display both Sheraton and Hepplewhite influence, many with inlaid lower panels and kidney-shaped dial doors. Decorative glass panels, both gilded and painted, were popular later, often with dished (concave) dials.
