A gilt wood and eglomise painted glass banjo timepiece signed Curtis and Dunning, Burlington, [VT] [Vermont]. “Presentation banjos with Naval battles from the War of 1812 done in reverse painting were made between about 1812 and 1840 to commemorate Naval victories of our young nation against against their British counterparts- not very different from events Americans would commemorate today, such as the landing on the moon, the victory achieved during WWII, etc. The partnership between Lemuel Curtis, one of the best known of the New England clockmakers who was related to the Simon Willards by marriage of his brother, and Joseph Dunning was active in Burlington between 1821 and 1827, when this clock was made.
