Hallifax of Doncaster
This is a George III 8-day clock, probably dating from around 1760.
It is unusual in that it rings on a gong - not a bell - on the half hour and the hour.
The 11” brass dial has Roman and subsidiary Arabic numerals, a seconds dial and a working date aperture.
The movement is in good working order and keeps excellent time.
The plain case is medium oak and is in good condition.
The hood has spire finials above a glazed door, and is flanked by spreading cylindrical columns with Corinthian capitals.
The waist has a rectangular door with working lock and key, and the base is bracket-form.
H = 223cm W = 51cm D = 27cm
