Antique 1860s Civil War Era Terhune & Edwards Ny Iron

Antique 1860s Civil War Era Terhune & Edwards NY Iron Front 8 Day Mantle Clock. This is a beautiful clock, visually striking; the central castle scene is enhanced with two mother of pearl inlay chips. Very stable with its wide base. Pendalum and key are here, ticks away sweetly, and chimes on the hour. C.1860, Terhune & Edwards, 48 Cortlandt St, New York, 8-day time and chime, with handpainted, japanned iron front which has created a very hard, durable finish. It is a colored varnish rather than paint explaining why it has survived in such nice condition for so long. Note that the paint on the mother of pearl insets has worn. Adapted from online sources: Henry Terhune and George B. Edwards were in business from the late 1850's to 1872, most likely as assemblers and retailers for various Connecticut firms. When Edwards left the company in 1872, William Terhune joined the firm, which became Henry Terhune & Sons. Terhune seems to have been associated with the United States Clock Co. for many years. Terhune and Edwards specifically seem to have been associated with it (possibly ran it) ca. 1872, and probably earlier. Both Terhune & Edwards and the United States Clock Co. were at the 18 Courtlandt Street address. Measures 20" tall x 18" wide at the base x 4" deep.
