Cross Antiques has dated this piece to the 1750s.
The hood has free standing columns to both the back and front, all fitted with gilt brass Corinthian capitals.
The 8 day movement strikes the quarters on two bells (once for quarter past, twice for half past etc) and the hours on a single bell. The dial has a well painted scene of Old Father Time to the arch. It also has a subsidiary seconds dial and working date indicator. Between 4 and 5 o’clock is a tiny painting of a fly.
The case is in excellent condition but has had a crack to the base repaired. There is also a little bit of old woodworm (treated) in the case cheeks. The movement is in good working order and complete with pendulum, weights, bells and a winding key.
The maximum dimensions are:
52cm(20.5“) wide
220cm(86.5“) high
28cm(11“) deep
