Clock · Longcase clock

This Victorian-period musical longcase clock dates to approximately 1898. The clock features a wood case topped by a swan-neck pediment decorated with three brass ball-and-spire finials. The hood is flanked by columns with decorative capitals. The dial is set behind a glass-paneled door, which is also present in the waist section to allow viewing of the internal pendulum and weights. The clock is powered by a weight-driven movement featuring a deadbeat escapement and utilizes five tubular bells to play the Westminster chimes. It provides acoustic indicators for the quarters, half-hours, and the top of each hour. The object measures 240 cm in height, 70 cm in width, and 45 cm in depth. The auction description reports the condition as good relative to its age, with minor signs of wear and surface weathering present on the case.
