Dimensions15 1/2" high with the handle up x 9" wide x 6 1/4" deep excepting the feet protrusions Category Antique Clocks Date 1800  Early 19th Century Antiques Material Ebonised Origin English Condition The movement is in full working order, it keeps time and the striking, silencing and pull repeat also operate correctly however, it would greatly benefit from a complete overhaul also, the pendulum holdfast bracket has been removed. The dial is very good and retains its original base paint, the inking appears to have been sympathetically touched in as do the raised gilt areas. The case is also very good but the brass door frame has some dents and the locks though original, require attention. A price and timescale for any work required by the purchaser can be given upon enquiry. Item code as1197a018 / AA 14458 Status For Sale
