Georgian Longcase Clock by Halliwell, Warrington

18th century

Sold by Clockwise

Description

Clockwise is delighted to present this very fine Georgian mahogany eight day longcase clock. This rack-striking four pillar movement has the superior dead-beat escapement (as opposed to the more traditional anchor configuration) and strikes the full hour on a sonorous bell. The square13 1/2 inch dial has been carefully restored with five minute intervals painted outside the numerals as befits the period. There is a working subsidiary date and seconds dial and roses decorate each dial corner. The dial lies behind original rippled glass and is framed by decorative brasswork to the case hood door. The hood is flanked by reeded pillars and brass capitals to the top and bottom of each pillar and a substantial brass hood knob adds the finishing touch. The swan neck top is adorned with three spire/ball finials. Moving down the case a brass band lies atop the trunk which contains the long door with a working key and lock, the keyhole decorated by the original brass escutcheon. The trunk is flanked by reeded quarter pillars. The base of the clock stands on four feet and is in excellent condition with an original decorative panel reflecting the high quality of this superlative clock.

John Halliwell is recorded as working between 1790-1820 and his pieces are of high quality.

The movement has just been restored along with new lines and as such benefits from my three year guarantee and this clock comes complete with a crank key.

Delivery is available, please enquire for details.
