Artifact Overview
This simple, mass produced clock is the type that was owned by many middle class Americans in the early years of the 19th century. The pointed top and the steeples suggest the popular Gothic Revival Style. The decorative floral etched glass is generic, suggesting no particular style. The overall effect would be perfect for a picturesque "cottage" interior.
