Item Details
Description
English. Circa 1825. Sheet iron and brass. A rare painted tall case clock dial marked for clockmaker John Geddie of Pictou, Nova Scotia. The corners of the dial exhibit decorative rural scenes of cottages and the arched top displays an image of a ruined building and simulated moon phases. Hours are marked in roman numerals. There are two winding arbors visible and remnants of both a seconds and date indicator. John Geddie (1778-1843) was a Scottish clockmaker who came to Pictou, Nova Scotia in 1817. Few of his Canadian-made clocks are known to survive. Dial signed, "Geddie Pictou". General wear and fading can be seen on the sub dials. 19" x 13.5" x 1.75". John Geddie Senior (1778-1843) was born in Banff, Scotland, where he was a successful clock and watchmaker until the end of the Napoleonic Wars. He and his family emigrated to Pictou, Nova Scotia in 1816 where he reestablished his clock making business, continuing until his death.
