Wooden wall clock, decorated with a mirror and a bird painted using the underglass technique in the lower part.
It bears the labels of the manufacturer Seth Thomas, Eight day and weight clocks.
Seth Thomas (1785-1859) was an American clockmaker: initially an apprentice carpenter and joiner, he began working in the clockmaking industry in 1807, working for clockmaker Eli Terry. Thomas formed a clockmaking partnership in Plymouth, Connecticut, with Eli Terry and Silas Hoadley under the name Terry, Thomas & Hoadley.
In 1810, he bought Terry's clockmaking business, which manufactured large clocks with wooden movements.
In 1813, he moved to Plymouth Hollow, Connecticut, where he established a factory manufacturing clocks with metal movements. His clockmaking business grew to become one of Connecticut's "BIG Seven," with a diverse range of products sold at all price points.
An important figure in the Plymouth Hollow community, the town decided to change its name in his honor and became Thomaston.
Upon his death, his son took over the business and continued its development.
