American Mahogany Banjo Clock by L. D. Anthony

This banjo clock by L. D. Anthony of Providence, Rhode Island, is a wonderful example of the artistry and precision of mid 19th-century American clockmaking.

With a captivating design, the clock features an elegant and richly colored mahogany case. Reverse-painted glass tablets adorn the clock with a striking black background, accentuated by gold-colored borders and a decorative aperture at the bottom to offer a view of the pendulum’s rhythmic swing. The time displays on a classically styled Roman numeral dial that stands out nicely against the warmly patinated dial, heightening the clock’s overall visual allure.

An 8-day weight-driven timepiece movement powers this clock, which bears a complete restoration and a one-year warranty.
