Original Listing Description

London George III longcase grandfather clock case only @ 1780. This case came with the set of 3 brass finials, signed London brass dial movement, pair of brass clad lead weights, weight pulleys, and pendulum that I also have for sale this week. Please see my other listings for other Georgian period longcase grandfather clock items. This case measures 88" tall x 20 1/2" wide x 10 1/2" deep. The dial surround in the bonnet measures 11 7/8" wide x 16 1/8" tall. The Georgian mahogany case with fan inlays and flame mahogany veneers is presented in original as found condition with good original color and finish. This is a really high grade London case with quarter sawn oak backboard and trunk door carcase. It needs some restoration. There is a loose side base molding, and some small missing pieces to the molding on the trunk door. Otherwise the case is quite good, but is a bit loose, and someone has expediently glued some wooden bandages to the backboard to stabilize it. The case has amazing proportions, and the selection of the veneers and the fan inlays are of amazing quality. The bonnet has full fluted columns, while the trunk has chamfered fluted corners. The original base with double plinth is excellent. The door glass is original with original putty, both the bonnet and trunk doors retain their original locks and hardware. Please see the photos attached for the complete description, and ask any questions you may have. I can combine multiple items to save on shipping cost. No reserve. Shipping in the Eastern USA can be arranged by blanket wrap antique mover service, which I would estimate to be $300.00, depending on exact location. For shipping west of the Mississippi please message me for a quote. I will also deliver this case to a 100 mile radius of Chicago for $100.00. Please message me for details. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
