Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Buckingham Interiors

A very late 17th Century /Queen Anne walnut longcase clock, with eight day striking five pillar movement by Cornelius Herbert London Bridge, with long arched trunk door. Height 247 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The cornice has a loss to the front left-hand corner. The rear right-hand return top moulding also has small losses. The remainder of the hood is in generally good order with only minor blemishes and small nibbles to the veneers. The bottom edge moulding to the hood has a loss to the very rear against the wall and there is a stress fracture or two to the left-hand side. The trunk door is not warped, it closes correctly and locks in place. We have the pendulum and both weights. We have not had the movement ticking, however when weight is applied to the going train the movement does seem to operate. The movement is dirty but appears to be all present. The bottom of the case has some water marks. We can see no evidence of any woodworm.
