Description of the item
Everyone who has seen this loves it! A very rare and totally original library clock (already unusual) with a very small 8" dial (even rarer). Currently unrestored, as I'd prefer to agree the extent of restoration with its new owner rather than guess. Retaining the original white ground and blackwork to the dial.

Information about the maker
G Glass is not recorded in our books and was probably therefore the retailer or the customer.
We estimate this clock was made approx 1880.

Condition Report
Totally original but requiring restoration. The case finish has degraded slightly but retains good colour. It therefore doesn't NEED a huge amount of work before finding a new home. If the new owner wants the case refinishing then it becomes a larger (but still straightforward) job. The movement is complete and wants to run but needs a clean & service.
Cost of Restoration
Clean and service the movement with 12 mths wty £150.
