Mountain Meadow: Property from the Collection of Betty and Gordon Moore, Woodside, California

Includes a pendulum, two weights, winding crank, and case key. The clock was working recently at the home, but is presently not running. The hands can be manually advanced, however the minute is loose/lacks tension and does not hold its position; it falls downward if not being held in place. The hour hand advances in accordance with the minute hand and is able to hold its position. The right winding pin takes a wind, but the left does not. Additional inspection and repair by a horologist is likely needed to get the clock running. The case in overall stable and attractive condition, with a warm, fairly even finish. Old nicks, scuffs, scratches and age splits to the wood, as is typical given the age. The dial and works are likely not original to the case. The painting to the hood (which simulates marquetry) as well as the finials are later than the rest of the case.
