DESCRIPTION:
This is fabulous oak and mahogany cross banded longcase clock. It has an eight-day movement on a wonderful square painted 'Wilson' dial. The clock is in perfect working order having recently been professionally cleaned and serviced. This clock is absolutely perfect for anyone looking for a clock to place straight into their home.

If we start with the hood this has a lovely flat top finished with moulded cornice below this is lovely inlaid detailing. Lovely delicate full reeded columns flank the hood door which finish in brass capitals. There are nice simple back splats. The hood door is nicely cross banded in mahogany.

If we then move down to the trunk this has beautifully shaped full-length door, which has been nicely cross banded in mahogany. The trunk door is then flanked by quarter reeded columns. Below the columns is some lovely fine carved detailing. The door also has its original brass escutcheon.

The base has a lovely shaped and mahogany cross banded applied panel. The front corners to the base are canted and have pretty reeded detailing. The base is raised on ogee bracket feet.

The eight-day movement with makers name of 'Tho Gaskell, Knutsford' striking the hour has a square painted 'Wilson' dial. It also has a subsidiary second and date dials and is set out with Roman numerals with Arabic numerals above. The four corners are adorned with beautiful finely painted flowers and strawberries frames in gilded gesso work.
