This slender well proportioned mahogany eight-day longcase clock has a particularly attractive painted dial with separate second-hand and calendar subsidiary dials. The maritime theme that runs through the original decoration is an indication of its coastal & naval origins. This is further supported by the maker''s name and location painted on the dial: Rider of Southampton. The painted spandrels (corners of the main dial) depict sea shells which were very popular with 19th Century amateur naturalists and collectors. A very elegant clock and one that will compliment and not dominate its surroundings. Both movement and case have undergone sensitive restoration.Whenever possible Culvertons undertake the carriage of items within London and the home counties.
