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
