This is an extremely good example of an 8-day George III Japanned Longcase Clock.
It has a silvered dial with an engraved STRIKE/SILENT ring to the arch, and a working seconds ring and date aperture.
The movement is in good clean condition and keeps excellent time. It strikes to the hour on a bell.
The hood is decorated and has a swept cavetto pediment supported on decorated pilasters.
The trunk is in good, solid condition and has a breakarched and moulded door with chinoiseries. The door has a working lock and key.
The japanned paintwork is in remarkably good condition. There is evidence of minor restoration, which is to be expected.
H = 87.75” W = 18.5” D = 9.5”
