This exquisite mid-19th-century Seth Thomas Ogee shelf clock, crafted in Thomaston, Connecticut, showcases the refined craftsmanship of one of America’s most renowned clockmakers. The case features a rich mahogany veneer with classic ogee molding, giving it an elegant and symmetrical appearance. The painted tin dial displays Roman numerals, delicate floral embellishments, and an exposed center revealing the intricate brass clockworks. Below, the reverse-painted glass panel is adorned with golden foliate designs surrounding a central floral medallion, adding to its decorative charm. This clock is powered by an eight-day brass time-and-strike movement, driven by original cast iron weights and a brass pendulum bob, ensuring accurate timekeeping. Inside, the original Seth Thomas paper label, marked “Warranted Good,” remains intact, providing historical authenticity. The clock is in excellent condition for its age, with a beautifully preserved case, minor wear on the dial, and a well-maintained movement that has been recently serviced. Measuring approximately 26 inches in height, 15 inches in width, and 4.5 inches in depth, this piece is an ideal addition to any antique collection or period-style interior. A true testament to 19th-century American horology, this Seth Thomas ogee clock is both a functional timepiece and a timeless decorative statement.
