Lovely Antique "Grandmother" Longcase Clock with Westminster Chimes

1900 - 1920

Sold by Cross Antiques

Description

A lovely quality little "Grandmother" longcase clock. It is under 6 feet tall so will fit in any room. The "Chippendale" style case is in beautifully figured mahogany with chequer inlay. It dates from around 1900 - 1920.

The 3 train 8 day spring barrel movement has Westminster chimes that sound on four gongs every quarter and strikes the hours on the hour on two additional gongs. The smart brass dial has gilt spandrels and a silvered chapter ring. It also has a strike/silent selector to the arch, however this is not operating and appears to never have been connected.

The case is in good unrestored condition and a lovely colour.

The movement is in good working order and keeping good time.

The maximum dimensions are:

181cm (71.25") high

41cm (16") wide

24cm (9.5") deep
