A George III longcase clock, with eight day striking movement by W Durham Dunbar, the oak case with long trunk door. Height including finial 220 cm. CONDITION REPORT: Whilst we have both weights and the pendulum, we have not had the clock running. When weight is applied to both the going and strike trains, the movement does however appear to operate. The dial is in reasonably good condition with only minor blemishes and rubbing around the numerals particularly from IV to IX. The case is in generally good order with no significant issues. The trunk door is not warped and there are no significant cracks, losses or damage. The feet are original and all present.
A George III mahogany longcase clock, Samuel Pearse Honiton, with Father Time automaton to arch and with eight day movement. Height including brass finial 242 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The movement winds on both trains and is currently ticking away. When the hands are advanced the movement strikes. The minute hand is detached and bent but present. The automaton is operating. The seatboard is old and the cheeks have not been built up. The mask around the dial fits well. The case is generally in good order. It looks to have been re-polished in fairly recent times. There are some minor repairs around the extremities. The trunk door fits well with only very minor warping. The plinth around the base is probably a later edition but the colour is a good match. There is a joint stress fracture on the front base panel. We can see no evidence of any woodworm.

There are some minor traces of what is clearly old long gone woodworm to the top glazed door extremities and the side return mouldings. There are minor nibbles and scuffs to the case but no major problems. The door is not warped and closes as it should. The lock is present and we have the key. The base has rubbing through to the softwood around the extremities and the usual scuffs and marks around the plinth as one would expect. There do not appear to be any significant repairs.
