Waterbury "Eaton" Oak Wall Regulator c. 1910
This majestic American wall timepiece represents one of the finest large-format parlor regulators crafted by the celebrated Waterbury Clock Company of Waterbury, Connecticut: the distinguished "Eaton" model.
Measuring an impressive 39 inches tall, the Eaton was designed to command visual attention in fine turn-of-the-century parlors, civic offices, and library spaces. Crafted from rich, solid American oak, the case is anchored by an architectural broken-arch scroll pediment crowned with an iconic spread-wing American eagle finial and turned spindle detailing. Flanked by fluted side pilasters and supported by an ornate drop-bracket base featuring reeded beadwork and carved drop finials, the full-length glazed door offers an expansive view of the 8-inch Roman numeral dial and the brass pendulum bob gliding steadily above its calibrated beat scale.
