DESCRIPTION:  This is a wonderful Rolling Moon Mahogany long case clock, with an eight-day movement on an arch painted dial.  The clock is made by John Banks of Olham. This clock is absolutely perfect for anyone looking for a clock to place straight into their home.

If we start with the hood, this has swan necks. Below the swan necks has wonderful  blind fretwork. The door has a pretty little brass knob. Pretty reeded columns flank the hood door and there are lovely half turned columns to the rear. Below the hood is lovely dentile work.

The door is also complete with it's lock and key which is fully working and there is a lovely shaped and fretted brass escutcheon to the key hole. The door is then flanked by quarter reeded columns.
