Description

This is a good 18th century 8 day longcase clock by J Whitworth of Lussley in nice original condition dating from around 1780. The clock has a caddied pediment with a crossbanded trunk door flanked on the case by brass capped oak pilasters. The 13 and a quarter inch brass dial has a Roman and Arabic slivered chapter ring with the dial centre engraved with a bird, sailing boat and scroll decoration. There is a moon dial aperture with delightful hand painted moon face and rural scenes rotating. This has a working four pillar movement with anchor escapement and rack and strikes a lovely tone on a bell on the hour every hour. The clock has attractive proportions and a good colour and patina to the oak. The classical hand painted teal blue and gilded frieze around the caddy pediment is a very nice unusual detail, with a central urn, swags scrolls and birds featured.

The clock measures 215 cms high by 52 cms wide by 25 cms deep.

UK delivery can be arranged with our careful furniture courier and costs £80 plus vat to most destinations.
