A handsome 18th C Mahogany long case by John Clayton, Marple, Cheshire.
The case is in nicely figured solid mahogany with a long slim door and arched top hood with eagle finials.
The good quality 8 day movement strikes the hours on a bell. It has a smart brass dial with gilt spandrels and a silvered chapter ring. To the arch is a very attractive moon phase indicator with the moon on a starry background. It has a good pair of brass cased weights.
The case is a unrestored condition and is showing some signs of it''s age. There are age related shrinkage cracks and knocks. There are repairs where the door hinges are attached to the trunk. However the condition is reflected in the price.
The movement is in running order and keeping good time.
Collection preferred but national and international delivery arranged at cost.
This clock is offered as a trade sale without warranty at a very attractive price.
