Description:
Tall clock by Edmund Currier, Jr. (1793-1853) of Hopkinton, New Hampshire, which was owned by the Hutchins family of Bath, New Hampshire. This tall clock is one of only two known examples of Currier’s work before he left central New Hampshire for Salem, Massachusetts, in 1825 in hopes of better times after the economic ravages of Jefferson’s Embargo, the War of 1812, and the Depression of 1817. The Hutchins family was happy to patronize Currier and an unknown cabinetmaker who worked in Hanover, New Hampshire, since a fashionable clock illustrated their mercantile sucess in the upper Connecticut River Valley.
