Lot 820 , An early 19th century mahogany 30 hour longcase clock W.50cm

An early 19th century mahogany 30 hour longcase clock W.50cm
Estimate £100-150

This is a 30 hour clock, not an 8 day as described.

Case: Base has a repaired section to bottom of front panel. Lacks base moulding/feet. Some minor cracks, scuffs and wear commensurate with age and use. Larger crack to top right of hood door frame. Cheeks built up, so movement and case may be associated.

Dial: Crazed, dirty, numerals worn and seconds dial entirely lacking.

Movement: 30 hour with false winding holes. The rack does not properly engage, so movement strikes continually.
