About the Item

A fine regency longcase clock, with an eight day weight driven two train movement with brass bound weights, a heavy lenticular adjustable pendulum suspended from a T bar with an elliptical wooded rod has beat adjustment screws. The hours striking on a heavy blued steel coiled gong. The movement has Harrisons maintaining power with an unusually high teeth count. The fine silvered Roman dial is signed Parkinson & Frodsham, Change Alley. The case is of particularly fine quality with a continuous flame mahogany veneer running up the trunk. This clock is one of only handful of longcases and regulators made by the firm and may well have been a one off commission.
