This nicely proportioned case has a mellow surface with a rich old color and features subtle line inlaid borders and diamonds in the door and base panel. The interior of the backboard is boldly signed with elaborate chalk letters "PittWait / Cabinet & Chairmaker". The painted iron dial has richly painted corner spandrels with large rose blossoms and the lunette has a detailed woodland scene of a hunting dog flushing a hare from cover. The brass eight day movement has distinctive characteristics, closely associate it with the work of clockmaker Luther Smith of Keene, New Hampshire.
