An early painted dial thirty hour posted frame longcase clock movement dating from about 1780.  

Very early 11 1/8” square painted dial probably by James Wilson.

The dial has a short arc date aperture indicative of an early Wilson dial.Other indications of this are the pale blue-green tinge to the white painted groundwork and the simple sprays of painted summer flowers in the spandrels.

Good quality well-made posted frame movement.  The going train is of the 4 wheel type with a centre wheel and pinion that carries the minute hand.

Good resonant original bell

The dial is original to the movement.

I can see no sign of the signature but close inspection with the aid of an ultra violet lamp as used by dial restorers may well reveal one.

Please see images below.

Clicking on any one image will open the images as a gallery in a separate browser or tab and then may be enlarged if required.

At the top of the images below I have included 2 short videos to show how the wheel trains run and escapement trips with with finger pressure and how the bell sounds when struck.  Please allow the videos load  before playing them through.

Condition.  

The movement is complete and in excellent but rather tarnished condition. Naturally, it will need attention including cleaning, oiling and adjusting etc.

The wheel trains turn smoothly and the escapement trips well with minimal drop.

There is minimal wear to the wheel trains and the escapement pallets.

The bell is antique and is original. It has been cracked in the past but it has been repaired and still has a fine resonant ring.

No pendulum, weight pulley etc.

The dial is in need of professional restoration.

Apart from the damaged area at the IX position, the dial groundwork paint is completely sound. The painted flowers and the black graphics need refreshing.

The date wheel paint is flaking and needs consolidation and sections repainting.
