Sale room notice
Please note that case, dial and movement are all associated on this clock.
Case - plinth is missing skirting to sides. Lacquer decoration is original but a small proportion of the raised gilt figures have ben damaged. Hood columns are original but the capitals are replaced and front right column is replaced at the top. Caddy seems original but finials are later.
Dial - very dirty and in need of cleaning but is largely original. The arch is asociated and NOT the same period as the main dial.
Movement - is associated to dial, with evidence of plugged holes. Movement is of first half 18th century but largely retrained.
There is a pendulum and two brass weights.
