Here we have a very pretty little longcase clock. It needs a little tidying to make it a very smart clock.

The case and movement are in nice condition and it is in good running order with all functions working (including the date indicator). The main problems are that the dial is a little faded and the hood door hinges need replacing (both dial restoration and the door hinges are available from www.clockspares.co.uk ) When done you would have a super little clock that would retail for £2500-3000.

The clock stands on a plinth base and the trunk has inlaid canted corners. The long door has an arched top and mahogany cross banding. The arched top hood has fluted columns with brass capitals and some attractive fretwork decoration to the top.

The good quality 8 day movement strikes the hours on a bell and has a white painted dial with subsidiary seconds dial and date aperture.
The maximum dimensions are:
49cm(19.5“) wide
210cm(83“) high
24cm(9.5“) deep
