Description
overall excellent condition. The warning arm needs adjusting, as the movement want to strike just once every 15 minutes, even when on the hour section of the count wheel. The case has been nicely veneered over an oak carcass, and is handsomely polished to a warm tone. The door, the pendulum aperture, iron hinges, and key lock are made in the proper style. No detail was overlooked in making this case, including a rising hood with latch as it would have been in this period. Britten's lists Martin Ellwood as "a great-clock maker" in London from 1680 to 1700. A complete and original clock from this period would sell for $30,000+. Height 78 inches
