Clock #7074 English tall case clock. Signed John Morse, South Hamption, This
is a fine looking clock in very good condition. The case is done in
crotch grain mahogany veneers with matching framed panels on the waist
and base. It has a good clean finish, a warm red mahogany color and
the wood grain shows very well. There is a 2" square piece of veneer
replaced on the front left side of the base, one missing small brass
corner piece at the bottom right rear of the hood and no other faults
of significance. The hood has brass stop fluting on the reeded columns. The crest
is original just as it is, not cut down or trimmed. The finials are
replacements. The dial does have some wear but the signature is visible. There
are seconds and calendar dials. The hands, weights, large brass door key and pendulum are the originals.

Clock #7075 Scottish tallcase clock. A. (Alexander?) Kirkwood,
(Paisley?). The dial signature is very faint but I know the "A. Kirkwood"
is correct and bits of the town name can be seen. He is listed as
working 1820-24 which seems about right. The mahogany case is clean and refinished.
There is a bit of veneer lifting on the portion just above the dial
and the feet have been replaced but overall it is in good tight condition
with little case loss or damage. There is houndstooth trim around the top of
the hood and the columns have spiral satinwood inlay. That inlay is
carried through the hood, waist and base. The waist corners are chamfered
with lamb's tongue and inlaid. The waist door is crotch mahogany with
an inlay panel of a seated lady. The base has a matching crotch mahogany
panel. The dial has seconds and calendar and is very
nice with gold and green spandrels. Some of the numerals have been
touched up. At the top, framed in swag curtains, is a lady figure
of "Justice". The hands, pendulum, weights and key are original.
The rails to hold the movement have been extended to position the
dial correctly in the door. 8 day with bell strike Recently serviced and in good running order. 7' 2" tall. Tall Case Clock closeup / base / closeup2 / closeup3 / closeup4 /dial / hood / movement / order - SOLD

Clock #7076 James Lichbody Tall Case Clock Scottish tallcase clock. James Lichbody, Lanark. The signature is
very faint. He is listed as working 1799 - 1837. This clock has a clean, refinished mahogany case. There is a small
veneer chip on the hood, one on the base panel and both flat trim
boards on the back side of the hood are missing. There are turned
columns on the hood and chamfered corners on the waist with a crotch
grianed mahogany door. The base is plain and it has replaced feet.
The dial is quite nice with Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring scenes
in the corners. At the top is a scene of a lady handing a cup to a
mounted horseman. It is titled "The Stirrup Cup" which was, and perhaps
still is, a tradition of offering a drink to a parting guest. There
is some paint loss if you look closely. The dial also shows seconds
and calendar. The weights and pendulum are original and I believe the hands are replacements. 8 day with bell strike. The movement was recently serviced and is in good running order. A nice small size at 6' 10" tall. order - SOLD James Lichbody Tall Case Clock closeup / closeup2 / closeup3 / |
