Grandfather - Tall Case - Long Case
|
| English 6 Bell Grandfather Clock | ||
| This English grandfather or tall case clock
has an 8 day 3 weight movement. It plays each sequence on 6 Bells;
one sequence on 1/4 hour, two on half hour, three on the 3/4 hour, then
four on the hour followed by the hour! The movement is original,
and in good running order. I should point out at this point that the movement
does have a new escape wheel that was professionally done in England by
an expert clock mechanic. The brass dial with moonphase is in great
original condition, and measures 13" x 18." Unfortunately, the gears
& levers on back of dial to move the moonphase are missing. The
clock has a great Mahogany case in excellent condition with one exception.
There is an age crack in the base of the clock in the front. The
case measures 21" wide x 96" high x 11" deep. On the brighter
side, the hood of this clock is simply magnificent with highly sculptured
hood latice, and three brass finials. The case has great patina.
I date the clock circa 1800. Just a great addition to any collection
with it's 6 Bell movement.
Asking: $11,500 US |
