Come see our lastest addition: The George Washington C2020TCH
A superb limited edition grandfather clock that commemorates the life of the First President of the United States of America, George Washington 1732-1799.
This unique tall clock has been made In the English Colonial “Roxbury” style, created by Simon Willard, one of America’s finest clockmakers, circa 1790.
The solid mahogany cabinet is veneered with selected flamed grain mahogany veneers and extensive use of satinwood cross-banded inlay. The base panel features handmade marquetry depicting Washington’s ancestral Virginia home, Mount Vernan.
The break arch pediment is highlighted with satinwood veneered pierced and blind fretwork. The cabinet stands on ogee feet and features fluted quarter columns to the trunk and “Corinthian” pillars to the hood. The hood is removable to allow for movement adjustment. The cabinet is hand rubbed and waxed to achieve an “antique” patina.
The clock has a unique hand painted dial depicting Washington's life and battle scenes. He is illustrated leaving home for military service, in full military dress as the commanding General of the Continental Army and being sworn in as the First President of the United States of America in 1789 at Federal Hall in New York City.
