"F. Wingate, Augusta No 146, 1817"
Incredible first finish, signed, numbered, and labeled Augusta Maine Tall Clock made by Frederrick Wingate. This clock is an
outstanding example of an early faux mahogany grain paint decorated case with original feet, fretwork, finials, tin can weights, and
winding crank. The American painted iron dial is from the Nolen school in Boston and is signed, dated, and numbered
by the maker. This magnificent example combines the finest elements of the "Boston High Style" executed in the manner
of the Country Maine Folk Art Craftsman.
