19th century

Sold by Worboys Antiques

Description

A small, original, solid oak longcase clock dating to the first half of the 19th Century (c.1835).

The 11 inch square painted enamel dial has a subsidiary seconds dial, a date window and is signed by the maker T.W. Collings of Dunstable. It has an 8 day movement that sounds the hours on a bell.
