The clock is very special to us as we had been searching for the right one for three years. It was bought at auction for us just days before our fortieth wedding anniversary. We were told it had been very much loved and cared for. It is now the heart of our home. This is how it was described; Lot 280 A George III period oak, mahogany and boxwood strung eight day Long Case Clock, the broken swan neck pediment surmounted with eagle finials above a 12" painted broken arched dial, the white chapter ring with Roman numerals and subsidiary seconds hand and date hand, signed J Anderson (Junior), Arbroath, cornered by gilded and hand decorated spandrels modelled as roses, flanked by reeded columns with gilt metal caps, further over a shaped trunk door and quadrant, fluted, reeded pilasters, shaped apron and raised on small bracket feet, approximately 199cm high. On the crescent above the dial there is a painted scene of a Manor house and lake, a Scottish scene? You have prompted me to take photos which I will do and send on. Please reply with your email address. Kind regards Glenda Baggott Evans Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
