James Hargrave

Circa 1795

A small elegant oak and mahogany longcase clock of eight-day duration with painted dial by James Hargrave.

This example has an elegant oak case with mahogany trim and crossbanding. The hood boasts a swan-necked pediment over a panel displaying specimen woods – a most unusual feature and fluted columns. The long trunk door has ebony stringing and a Sheraton style inlay as has the base. The height is 86 inches excluding the finials.

The movement has been fully overhauled to the highest standard and is of eight-day duration striking the hours on a bell.

The arched painted dial has a rural scene to the arch, well-decorated spandrels and a subsidiary seconds dial.
