A New World Record

In January 2004 the Palladino's, owners of the Solvang Antique Center, set a new world record, selling an important Revolutionary War-period Philadelphia Rococo tall case clock for $803,200 at Sotheby's New York/Americana sale.

Within nine months, however, they lost that record to a Peter Stretch Philadelphia tall case clock. On October 28th, 2004 a new record was set of $1,688,000 - more than double the previous record!
