A George III inlaid mahogany longcase clock, with swans neck pediment above the arched glazed door enclosing the two train striking movement by David Somerveille St Ninians. Height 221 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The cheeks upon which the movement seatboard sits have been altered. This would suggest that the movement and case are associated. Whilst we have not had the movement operating, when weight is applied to both the strike and going trains it does seem to operate. The movement is extremely dirty. When the hands are advanced it does however strike. When the hands are advanced the moonphase does not appear to be operating. The movement requires a good clean as does the dial. The seconds hand is missing. The case is structurally fairly sound, however the French typed surface is allover crazed particularly on the trunk door. The terminals are missing to the swans neck. The remainder of the hood is structurally sound. The brasswork to the capitals is very tarnished. There are numerous small scuffs and scratches. The rear right hand vertical moulding is missing. The trunk door is crazed. There are losses to the polished surface on both corner pillars. The trunk door is not warped. The sides of the case have some losses to the rear edges. The base panel has veneer losses to the edges and is very dirty but not split. The right and left hand rear moulded returns have losses to the rear half on both sides.
