Catalog Description:

C.1740, English, Taylor, Lydiat, a good 18th century tall case clocks with restorations. This is one tall case that you can assure yourself still has its original movement, owing to the unique shape and size of the dial. The movement itself is somewhat oversize and of very good quality. But the best part is the interesting triple arch brass dial with strike silent lever to the left, calendar in the center and fast slow adjustment at the right. The rest of the dial is typical of the period, with quarter hour markings inside the chapter ring, minute ring outside the numerals and 5 minute markers outside the minute ring. A separate engraved seconds circle is applied to the matte center. The hands appear to be original. The case is loose at the waist, with a reinforcement scabbed onto the rear; an American style fret has been added to the hood; finish needs attention. Still has lots of potential. Height 104"
