CHIPPENDALE PINE PENNSYLVANIA TALL CASE CLOCK.Pennsylvania, late 18th- early 19th century. An architecturally bold example; the bonnet with scrolled pediment, four free standing columns, arched door and quatrefoil inspection lights. The pendulum section has a tulip carved door and is flanked by fluted engaged quarter columns, the lower case has square perimeter molding and old ogee bracket feet. The 30-hour pull-up movement is brass with time-and-strike functions, and the painted dial features Roman numerals. The clock retains its original seat board and dial. The dial is in good unrestored condition with original hands and is signed prominently "Christian Bixler Fulton No. 36″. The single brass cased weight and pendulum are present, as is the door key. SIZE: 91-1/2″ h x 22″ w x 10″ d. CONDITION: Case is in generally very good condition with old refinish. There are some cracks and losses to the lower half-inch of foot facings. Case and movement possibly by association. 49866-1 CAR (3,000-5,000)
