Good 18th Cent Figured Walnut London Longcase Clock

18th century

Sold by Cross Antiques

Description

An elegant slim, early 18th Cent longcase clock. The case is in nicely figured walnut and it has a smart brass dial and 8 day movement. It is by John Hammers who is listed as working in London in the early 18th Cent.

The good quality 5 pillar movement strikes the hours on a bell. The brass dial has nice gilt crown and cherub spandrels and a silvered chapter ring. It also has a subsidiary seconds dial and working date aperture. As you would expect with a good London clock it has an all brass pendulum and brass cased weights.

The beautifully proportioned case is in good restored condition and a lovely colour. There is the inevitable fine shrinkage crack to the base but this is not too noticeable. The trunk door has a working lock and key.

The movement is nice and clean, in good working order and keeping good time.

The maximum dimensions are:

221cm (87“) high

51cm (20“) wide

28cm (11“) deep
