Benjamin Cope, Franche. C1800. A moon-phase, 8-day, mahogany cased longcase clock
£695.00
One of the nicest painted dials you will find! Wilson dial dating to around 1800. Beautiful portayal of painted moon faces, ship at sea and rural scene to moon-disk. The main dial has floral themes to the corners and further embellishments to the centre incorporating the maker's name.
Good, well proportioned mahogany case with some older repairs to hood door (not visible when closed). Some splitting to the lower left trunk and base, not too bad.
Movement in very good condition, just serviced and all working correctly.
Height with finial is 90 inches, without 86 inches.
