An early 18c 8 day longcase clock the 28cm square brass dial signed Thos. Stripling, Barwell and having scroll spandrels to the corners and an engraved sun and birds in the dial centre. The dial has a silvered chapter ring with Roman numerals and Arabic outer minute figures and a large date aperture. The movement has four pillars and is rack striking on a bell. It is hour contained in a plain oak case with flat topped hood with plain freestanding columns flanking the dial. The long trunk door has a shaped top and the base is plain with a moulded skirting. 198cms h.
The movement and dial probably belong to each other but have been put into a slightly later case. the dial is in good condition and the movement complete but dirty. The case has vertical splits to the hood above the dial, the front base panel and the left hand base panel. The general finish of the case is dull and would be improved by polishing.
