"It is among the Garvan Carver's earliest work. The eight-day works are by Augustine Neisser, a Moravian who immigrated to Georgia in 1736 and settled in Germantown, Pennsylvania, in 1739.
The clock dial is engraved with a landscape and flanked by four cast spandrels. The clock has its original cartouche, scroll top, rosettes, and finials, but its waist has been telescoped (a couple of inches have been sliced off), and it has some foot problems. Nevertheless, it stands 105" tall and has an impressive presence. Estimated at $175,000/250,000, it failed to sell at the auction, but Skip Chalfant said it was being considered by a client and may sell for its low estimate."
