19th Cent Mahogany Moon Dial Long Case Longcase Grandfather Clock

19th century

Sold by Cross Antiques

Description

A lovely quality West Country longcase clock. It is by John Roberts of Bath, Somerset, where he is listed as working from 1829 to 1842.

The case is of typical design for the region but this one is of particularly good quality. The figuring of the veneers being most attractive. It is in excellent condition and a lovely colour. It is designed to lean against a wall and as such was originally made without any back feet.

The good quality 8 day movement strikes the hours on a bell. The nicely painted dial has a subsidiary seconds dial, date window and to the arch is displayed the phases of the moon. It comes complete with its original weights, pendulum and winding key.

Altogether a lovely clock in good working order and keeping good time.
