Both movement and dial are in fine condition and clock should run and chime once set up correctly. Case is an early 19th century Scottish case and is in sound cosmetically restored condition with the only significant noticeable faults being vertical shrinkage cracks to the plinth base. The clock comes with weights, pendulum, case key and winder IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS Movements, dials and cases Movements and dials are described as relating to the cases in which they are housed in one of the following three ways: the case... we are of the opinion that the movement and dial started life in the current case. in a case... we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are in a case of correct period and type (and may well be original to the movement and dial), however there is evidence to suggest that they may not have started out life together. now in a case... we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are no longer in the original case or one of correct period and/or type. Pendulums, weights, winding and case keys Unless specifically indicated otherwise in the catalogue description it can be assumed that all clocks are sold with the requisite pendulum and correct number of weights (where appropriate), however we cannot guarantee that they are original to the clock. We do not indicate in the catalogue description whether winding or case keys are present with any specific clock. As many are consigned without keys please check with the department to establish whether they are present or not prior to bidding. Condition Due to the mechanical nature of clocks and the fact that most are of great age we cannot offer any guarantee as to whether they are in working order or free from major faults or restoration. Although we endeavour to catalogue items in a fair and informed manner, omission of any comments or observations regarding the condition or originality of a clock in the description does not necessarily indicate that it is free from significant faults, restoration or is in working condition. We would strongly advise any prospective purchaser to view the item in person or request a condition report and/or further images prior to bidding. Measurements Dial measurements are given in inches, other dimensions such as height are given in centimeters (and inches for English clocks). The measurement given for the height of a longcase clock excludes any removable finials in order to provide an approximate minimum ceiling height in which the clock can be accommodated.
