Antique Inlaid Grandfather Clock, Eight Bells, Five Gongs
About the Item
It has an eight-day five pillar movement on an arch dial and chimes on eight bells and five gongs on each quarter hour. The clock also has a strike/silent as well as a Westminster/Whittington facility.
The arched dial has a silvered chapter ring having Roman numerals with small Arabic numerals above and foliate divisions between the numerals. The centre of the dial is gilded and has a subsidiary seconds dial. The rest is gilded, the four corners are adorned with mask baroque spandrels and the arch incorporates the strike/silent facility.
The hood has a beautiful cornice which is finished with three brass finials and ormolu mounts. The hood door is flanked by ormolu Corinthian columns with brass capitals. On either side of the hood are shaped panels with mahogany fretwork which allows the sound to attenuate.
The case of the clock is smothered with beautiful inlaid marquetry and cross-banded decoration, the work of a Victorian master craftsman. The beautifully inlaid door opens to reveal three weights and a brass pendulum.
The five pillar eight day movement strikes the hours and quarters on five gongs and eight bells, and you can choose between Westminster and Whittington chimes.
With working locks and key as well as the original winding key.
