DESCRIPTION: This is wonderful inlaid oak and mahogany longcase clock. The movement is eight-day on a superbly painted arched dial which has the rare feature of being a convex dial. It is also of lovely petite proportions. The movement is stunningly clean and is in perfect working order having recently been professionally cleaned and serviced.

If we start with the hood, this has swan necks which have lovely brass pateras. The hood is flanked by superb turned columns which terminate in brass capitals and has pretty shaped back splats. The hood door is mahogany veneered and has a very pretty frilled edge which sets it of beautifully.

Moving down to the trunk, there is a lovely door which is beautifully inlaid with ebony stringing. The door is flanked by chamfered sides which have lovely mahogany veneer.

The base is inlaid with ebony stringing and is raised on shaped bracket feet.

The eight-day movement with maker’s name of ' Benjn Joseph, Swansea' strikes the hour on a bell and has an arched painted face, subsidiary second dial and date aperture. The four corners are adorned with very pretty paintings of flowers. The arch is also magnificent with a superb painting of a young lady with her dog out in the country cutting corn.

There is one 'Benjamin JOSPEH, Swansea' listed in ‘Wales Clock and & Clockmakers by William Linnard’:

- 'JOSEPH, Benjamin. Swansea. c1813-62. Market Place 1830, Carr Street 1835-50, High Street 1852 (directories). Several longcase clocks known, with brass dials and painted dials. See Greenlaw, Swansea Clocks, pp83-4.'

DIMENSIONS: The approximate dimensions are: - 84.5 inches high to top of clock - 19.75 inches across the widest part of the hood - 14.25 inches across the trunk - 18.75 inches across the widest part of the base.

As can be seen from these dimension this is a clock of lovely slim proportions.

CONDITION:

The clock is in wonderful condition, as with any antique just odd minor marks commensurate with age and careful use. The movement is stunningly clean and is in perfect working order having recently been professionally cleaned and serviced.
