C.1875, English, Tall Clock with Father Time Automaton, and in good original condition. This clock has a well made 8-day brass dial movement, with the bonus of animated jacks that stand beside a relief of Father Time holding court with his trident and hourglass. The jacks hammer at bells in the arch during the strike sequence. The figures and their hammers are well executed, and the two tone, silver and gold coloring really make them stand out. The tastefully carved mahogany case retains its original finish, and with key locks for the trunk and upper doors. The hands are original; tip to seconds hand is broken away. Note also the case had a carved crest at one time, that is now absent. Height 90 inches
