A rare and exceptional example of a Lancashire/Chippendale style longcase clock.
The eight day duration movement striking the hours on a bell. The white dial showing seconds, with date aperture and with moonphase feature to the arch. The corners are painted as ripe fruit with blossoms. The finely made case is of exceptionally rare Pollard Oak standing on bracket feet. The plinth has canted corners and has a center field of Pollard Oak with Pollard Oak crossbanding. The trunk has a door with Gothic Arches and is crossbanded with Pollard Oak and an Ebony escutcheon, and is flanked by triple gun-barrel columns with Ebony rings to base, center and top. The hood is fitted with quadruple gun-barrel columns standing on a square oak plinth, the barrels have Ebony rings to the base, center and top, the swan neck pediment embracing an inverted crenellated finial. |
