Lot 167
An 18th Century 8 day longcase clock with 5 pillar movement, the 10" square arched dial marked JF with subsidiary second hand, calendar aperture, silvered chapter ring, striking on a bell, the base of the dial marked James C H London Fecit, contained in a mahogany case 85" £500-800 ILLUSTRATED

We consider this clock to be a marriage of movement and case and we also believe that the clock started life with a square dial and that the arch is a later addition.
