   DESCRIPTION: This is a truly exquisite Rolling Moon mahogany longcase musical clock which is in superb condition and is exceptional quality and of very grand proportions. The clock has a choice of two tunes namely Westminster or Whittington, or can be selected for 'Silent' if required with the added feature of having a Rolling Moon. The movement is outstanding quality as is clock case and in addition to being musical is maintaining power. The clock is in perfect working order having recently been professionally cleaned and serviced and as such the movement is immaculate. This clock is ideal for anyone looking for a high quality clock to place straight into their home.

If we start with the hood, this has an arched top finished with a lovely shaped moulding . Below this are two wonderful brass fretted panels lined in red fabric. The hood contain thick bevelled glass. Pretty full reeded Corinthian columns flank the hood door with the base of the columns being detailed with brass. There is a lock to the door which is compete with it's key and in full working order. To the sides of the hood are wonderful fretted panels lines in red fabric which allow the sound of the chimes to pass nicely from the case.

If we then move down to the trunk it has a wonderful shaped door which has a thick bevelled glass. The door is also complete with it's lock and key which are fully working. The trunk is flanked by quarter reeded columns which terminate in brass capitals and again have been detailed with brass to the base of the column. Finally the base has a lovely inset panel and is raised on nicely shaped plinth base.

The eight-day Rolling Moon movement is superb quality and is in perfect working order having been professionally cleaned and serviced and as such the movement is immaculately clean. In addition to being musical it is maintaining power which means that the clock continues to go even when being wound which is a rare feature to find and a reflection of the quality of this clock. It also has the wonderful feature of being a Rolling Moon clock. The movement is stamped with 'LFS' inside a wheel which is the trademark for Lorenz Furtwangler & Sohne, Furtwangen who are a German family of clockmakers who first started making clocks in 1836 and ceased in 1929. Sons of Theophil, Hector, Oskar and Aldof were all clockmakers and joined their father's company in 1868. Because they were makers of clocks which were of high precision the movements and cases became world famous. The trademark was first registered in 1881 and again in 1895.

The clock chimes the hours and either Westminster or Whittington chimes on the quarter hours in such a manner that it chimes a quarter of the tune at quarter past, half the tune at half past, three quarters of the tune at quarter to then the full tune on the hour followed by striking the hour. It also has a subsidiary second dial. The dial is a work of art in it's own right with silvered chapter ring with applied Arabic Numerals. The background is the most intricate brass fretwork and then had been exceptional attention to detail as can be seen from the photographs.

DIMENSIONS: The approximate dimensions are: - 103.25 inches high - 25.5 inches across the widest part of the hood - 17.75 inches across the trunk - 26.25 inches across the widest part of the base.

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

CONDITION:

The clock is in wonderful condition. The movement is immaculately clean and in perfect working order having recently been professionally cleaned and serviced. The only minor point to make is that on the left side of the hood the small handle for opening the fretted panel is lacking. As with any antique there are very minot marks commensurate with age and careful use.
