Seller: dee.afg ✉️ (1,370) 0%, Location: truro, Cornwall, GB, Ships to: GB, Item: 143089826125 Stunning Georgian 8 day Longcase/Grandfather Clock John Ford Arundel- Circa 1774.

A fine quality, just under 8ft oak slim Longcase with pagoda type hood. Set with a silvered dial with strike silent and five pillar movement. 

  The oak case is in very nice order, very tall so will require a tall ceiling, lovely long door and slim trunk with a good patina . Clean hood, with a lovely door, glazed with original glass. With a more recent lock all working with a key.

A wonderful brass engraved silvered dial beautifully engraved with second sub dial and strike silent all present and working to the broken arch, again all in lovely order. Unusually there is an engraving to the rear of the dial, C Battcok 1774, I am guessing that this is the original owner of the clock.

 

The movement is superb, beautifully made and in  very good order twin train five pillar a real sign of quality.   Recently the movement has been stripped down, cleaned and  serviced, subsequently all is in very suburb order. Striking on the hour with a rich bell tone . Gut line in good order . Clock is powered by two good   matched weights running the clock for 8 days.  Pendulum good clean order. Supplied with  a crank key.

John Ford was born in 1735, married in 1760 and died c 1811. He is listed as working in 1750 in Arundel, but in January 1755 he was apprenticed to Samuel Burfield clockmaker of Arundel, for 2 years .

 

A superb Longcase of wonderful proportions with an attractive case adding both elegance and a wonderful rhythmic tick- tock to any house.

Please note, whilst clocks are sold in full working order, have been recently oiled with a high grade mineral oil.  The clock will require a basic set up, that is not too difficult and I am happy to offer help and advice.

Collection preferred and am happy to deliver and set up if local.  The clock will be very well packaged and delivery is via a specialist courier , please bear in mind that this can take a few weeks to organise and get delivered safely.

I am also happy to talk through or send instructions on any set up you may need.

Please message for any questions or supply more images if you require.
