DESCRIPTION: This is pretty oak and mahogany longcase clock which is of nice petite proportions. The movement is 30 hour on a superbly painted arched dial.
If we start with the hood, this has swan necks which have lovely brass pateras. The hood is flanked by full turned columns which terminate in brass capital.
Moving down to the trunk, there is a lovely door which is cross banded in mahogany. The door is flanked by chamfered sides.
The base, which again is cross banded in mahogany, is raised on shaped bracket feet.
The 30 hour movement with maker’s name of 'Jno. Ivison, Carlisle' striking the hour has an arched painted face. The four corners and the arch are adorned with lovely flower painting which incorporates a lovely gilded background. Overall the dial is very pretty as can be seen from the photographs.
There is one 'Jno. Ivison, Carlisle' listed in ‘Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World Volume 2 by Brian Loomes’:
- 'IVISON. John. Carlisle. (B. 1810-)1828 - 1834'.
DIMENSIONS: The approximate dimensions are: - 87 inches high to top of clock - 21 inches across the widest part of the hood - 15.25 inches across the trunk - 19.5 inches across the widest part of the base.
As can be seen from these dimension this is a clock of lovely slim proportions.
