Clockwise has dated this Antique Moonphase Longcase Clock to the 1850s.
Barleytwist spiral pillars with wooden capitals to top and bottom flank the masked hood door to the front. The trunk contains matching spiral barleytwist pillars flanking the geometric inlaid door which retains its working key and lock and the clock stands on matching ogee mahogany feet. Similar geometric inlay is to be found to the base.

The arched dial is signed 'William Meredith, Merthyr Tydvil' and is in gorgeous condition being a fine example of a painted dial with seconds sub-dial and working date window. The moonphase element depicts a small sailing ship and windmill with architectural paintings to each dial corner. The three matching pierced brass hands complete the impressive appearance.
The four pillar, rack-striking anchor escapement movement has been fully refurbished with new lines provided and the clock strikes the full hours on a beautifully mellow bell. The weights are a matching pair and the clock benefits from my three year guarantee.
This clock really is a beautiful piece of furniture and delivery and set-up is available.
William Meredith operated from opposite the Castle Hotel at 125 HIgh Street in the mid 1850's and he was a watchmaker, jeweller and optician with copies of his original adverts included in the photos.
