George III Maritime Longcase Clock.

Something a bit special for today's blog. This superb late Georgian longcase clock with wonderful figured mahogany case c.1800 is a new arrival today. 8 day movement by William Costen of Kirkham in Lancashire. The original owner may have had connections to the sea (Kirkham itself is a few miles inland) as the face features a maritime themed rolling moon and a rare 'tidal dial' - to show the times of the local high and low tides. The case features original inlaid detail, bracket feet and quarter columns whilst the hood boasts a crisp swan neck pediment, painted glass panels and reeded columns with elaborate brass tops. Such a 'city' case combined with a Lancashire maker would point strongly to a Liverpool cabinet maker which would tie in well with the maritime theme of the face.
Dimensions: height 92", width (at top of hood) 24", depth 9".
