English short drop, 8 day time only, single fusee movement, ca1900. 19 inches mahogany case has not been cleaned or even dusted.
One little corner nick, bottom back edge. The drop down door on the base still has the original brass knob, but the catch inside is missing. Now held by a screw that will eventually wear away the wood. The original painted dial ring and numerals are great but the newly painted inner section detracts from the overall look. If only the paint had blended with the other. Side wings are carved and perfect. There is only one peg holding the bezel to the case. The bottom glass has a heavy piece of brass outlined around it and there is string brass inlay around the lower glass.
English long drop, roll bottom, wall clock. It is absolutely the finest of this type clock we have ever offered for sale.
The 32 inches flame mahogany (or burl walnut) case, is superb. Hopefully you can see in the picture the beveled bezel, side wings, and middle door, and string inlay around both the bezel and door. Fancy scroll work behind the glass in lower door. The large bottom scroll is unrolled revealing a large bird, limbs, leaves, a swan, and more string inlay. The case overall is polished and shining like expensive furniture. The metal dial was repainted when the clock was cleaned and restored. There are no glaring repairs, so must assume all visible to my eye is original.
