Description: Mitchell & Mott New York Inlaid Mahogany Tall Case Clock C. 1800 Mitchell & Mott Federal Mahogany Tall Case Clock. Henry Mitchell was in partnership with Jordan Mott at work in New York City at 27 Pearl Street Circa 1790 - 1809. This magnificent example stands 98 1/2" Tall, 21 1/4" wide and 10 1/2" deep. Early period tall case clocks from New York City are extremely rare and hard to find, so this represents an opportunity to acquire an original signed example. The "High Style" inlaid mahogany case has wonderful wood selection, contrasting satinwood string inlay, inlaid rosettes, and geometric inlaid capitals. Turned mahogany quarter columns flank the waist section of the case. The shaped waist door has a shaped arched top and wonderful oval inlay. The door lock is original, functions and comes with a key. The glass in the bonnet is original. The clock descended in the Hageman family of Montclair NJ and other than the appropriate bench made restored bracket feet, it is completely original. When we acquired the clock there was chipping in the dial at the dial posts and the posts were attached with screws. We had the dial touched up at the 4 dial posts and reset the dial feet. The movement is complete and in an excellent state of preservation. There are no replacements or solder repairs to the works. The clock runs and strikes just fine. The case has a delightful warm patina and the stepped molded base terminates on ogee bracket feet. The eight day works are typical of what you find in this area and are coupled to an early painted iron dial of English origin which is characteristic of the early clocks made in New York. Since coming in to the shop, we have gone through the movement and the clock runs and strikes perfectly, nevertheless we are unable to guarantee the works after shipment and you may need to make some adjustments after receipt of the clock and setup. Acceptable payments: PAYPAL, Personal Check, Business Check, Bank Wire, Bank Check, Cashiers Check, MO.
