Description of the item
This is a friendly little 'cottage' grandfather / longcase clock. It has a pretty painted face, and is only approx 6' 7" tall. The oak case is has mahogany and rosewood trims.
The movement is a '30 hour' which is designed to be wound every day. (You simply open the door and pull down on the chain). It strikes the hours on a loud bell. The movement can be modified to stop the striking.
