18th Cent Lacquer Longcase Clock

18th century
Description

A lovely crusty original lacquered longcase clock by Thomas Kefford of Royston Herts. He is listed as working there at The Dial in Fore Street from 1710 to 1770.

I would describe it as being in "Country House" condition, i.e. having stood in the hall for many years without a lot of attention. The only major work carried out is the replacement of the plinth probably due to the clock having stood on a damp floor for many years. There is some old woodworm damage to one of the columns on the hood but this has been treated and filled so is not a major problem.

The good quality 8 day, 5 pillar movement strikes the hours on a bell. It has a smart brass dial with silvered chapter ring and gilt spandrels. It has a working date indicator and the all important strike / silent selector to the arch. The movement is in good working order and keeping good time.

The maximum dimensions are:

221cm (87") high

52cm (20.5") wide

25cm (10") deep

Free local delivery and set up (70mls), national and international delivery arranged at cost.
