JOSEPH ELFORD WALNUT LONGCASE CLOCK

Kevin — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 14:02:19 +0000

A good, local longcase by Joseph Elford, Lymington (Hampshire). Fine quality five pillar movement with anchor escapement striking the hours on a bell. The 12” brass dial with weel mated centre, seconds and calendar. Well executed blued steel hands. The classic break arched case is unusually (for this date) made from solid walnut. It is stained to emulate mahogany, which was probably more expensive at the time. This was obviously a whim of the provincial case maker as walnut had generally fallen out of favour by the middle of the 18th C
