M. C. Taylor has dated this piece to the 18th Century.
A George III period, stained pine, hooded wall alarm timepiece.
Also having an alarm mechanism set between the plates next to the going train incorporating a verge crown-wheel and vertically pivoted hammer, sounding on a bell mounted above.
The 7 inch square brass dial with central rose engraved alarm disc and single scroll pierced hour hand to centre, within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with dot half hour markers and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles.
The case with moulded cornice and plain frieze over hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by free-standing columns, the right hand side with lancet-shaped door and both sides with shaped bargeboards at the rear, the throat with complex mouldings over twin stepped-ogee outline integral side supports with inverted break-arch pendant backboard between.
This wall clock is absolutely charming and has a substantial slow tick. The dial has not been prepared because it may be preferred to leave it in its dull and worn condition. All original and in working condition but the movement would benefit from a complete overhaul and the chain jumps occasionally. The case is in good order and sound and the dial is unrestored.
The price is for the clock in its present condition, and the cost of any work required by the buyer can be advised upon application.
The purchased clock can be collected at a time mutually agreed. Alternatively delivery can be arranged for which a quotation can be supplied.
