Longcase Clocks

Victorian longcase clock

82" x 18" x 9"

This is a truly remarkable clock. The case is constructed of the very best figured mahogany as can be seen in the pictures. Very good colour with fluted , canted edges to the trunk and with small brass inlays to the hood. The extremely substantial dial has been delicately engraved by hand and features a separate seconds and chapter ring applied to the base dial which is not immediately obvious unless viewed in our showrooms. The long trunk door has what is known as a 'bridge top' reserved for the finest London longcase clocks. The figured base is also paneled with a double plinth. The decorative ball and eagle finials can be removed if they do not suit your interior, they simply lift out. The 8 day movement is driven by two brass cased weights and a brass faced pendulum bob. The clock has no markings what so ever which is highly unusual as the clock is such good quality throughout. Our best guess is this was made for a substantial company boardroom or hall and perhaps was requested to be 'unbranded'. Would suit any interior, contemporary or classic. The strike is on the hour on a large bronze bell, quite soft. The clock can be delivered and set up within 40 miles of our shop or contact us for a quote if further afield. Further pictures can be requested. 24 month (UK) Guarantee
