Catalog Description: C.1885, Seth Thomas “ARCH TOP”, 8-day rosewood veneer mantle clock in good restored condition. This clock had lost part of its veneer prior to restoration, and the refinisher sanded the top arch and the front surfaces of the bottom trim and painted in the grain prior to applying the final finish. From a distance, it looks quite good, but up close you can see the restorations. The dial has been professionally repainted with aged and crackle finish and is excellent. The movement appears to be clean and running; excellent label inside case. Height 15.5 inches
