Description

A handsome late 18th/early 19th Cent 8 day longcase clock by Thomas Dodson of Beeston, Leeds (Yorkshire). He is listed as working there from 1780 to 1828.

The case is in oak with mahogany inlay and it is in good unrestored condition and has retained its original finish. It has the inevitable fine shrinkage cracks to the base but other than that it is in fine condition. It would appear to have been made without back feet and was designed to lean against the wall.

The good quality 8 day movement strikes the hours on a bell, It has an attractive painted dial with a nicely painted scene to the arch depicting Little Bow Peep with some sheep.
