ROANOKE, VIRGINIA WALNUT TALL CASE CLOCK, brass weight-driven movement, wooden dial with Roman numeral chapter ring signed verso "T. Ant. Kreuzer"; the case featuring country-Classical elements including bold spool-turned cylinders on both sides of the cornice, three fixed knob-like finials on the flat top of the hood, round applied turned rosettes to either side of the hood, the whole flanked by two turned side columns, the lower case with a slender door with inlaid escutcheon, the base has been reworked to have a hinged door which was once a fixed panel, the interior of that panel is signed "Big Lick / March 1838 / Jos. Wrightman", this panel was flipped over when converted to a door. Yellow pine secondary wood. Works and dial are later replacements and retain a winding key, contemporary brass weights, and a supplemental seat board. The case retains an older refinished surface with warm color. Also retained with the clock is a collection of research paperwork and an article by Shannon Hughes - Grandfather Clock from Big Lick, Virginia. Dated 1838. 91 1/4" HOA, 19 1/2" WOA, 11 1/4" DOA.
Catalogue Note: Joseph Wrightsman was listed in the 1840 census as being employed in manufacturing and trade. His father, John Wrightsman was listed as a cabinet maker, and the inventory taken at his death in 1866 lists several woodworking tools. It is possible that this was made in the shop of his father, or that Joseph learned the trade from his father.
Very good condition overall with minor to moderate scattered wear and old repairs; untested and in unknown working condition (See Catalogue Guarantee).
From the Lee W. Winborne estate collection, Roanoke, VA.
Purchased through Mary Thompson Kravetz Antiques, Freehold, NJ, 1985.
