Good ebonised eight day longcase clock with five pillar movement, the 11" square brass dial signed Jno Culliford, Bristoll (sic) on the silvered chapter ring enclosing a foliate engraved centre with subsidiary seconds dial and calendar aperture, the case with long beaded moulded edged door and the hood surmounted by a flat moulded stepped cornice over a pierced carved foliate fret frieze, 82.5" high (pendulum and two weights)

More Information

General condition appears good and there is evidence on the case of old restorations especially to a horizontal crack across the width of the base, there is some slight wear on the chapter ring and dial centre engraving, the two weights are relatively modern. We believe this is an honest clock and the movement and restored case are of the same period, although some may believe it is a sympathetic marriage, there do not appear to be any obvious parts that have been replaced. See images for guidance, personal viewing always advised where possible.
