A mahogany and mahogany veneer shelf clock by the partnership of Chauncey Jerome and Elijah Darrow of the 1830s. This is an early version of the triple decked shelf clocks of the 1840s and later. Robust carving, another favorable feature of the first manufactured shelf clocks, can be seen with the crest, paw feet and half columns mounted aside the two glazed doors. The hand painted wood dial is another early feature.
