Masonic Longcase Clock

This rather splendid-looking clock containing the phrase "Let brotherly love continue" could fetch £900 when sold at auction.

The catalogue description reads: "A 19th century mahogany longcase clock, W. Young, Dundee, the swan neck hood enclosing a 12.5'' enamel dial with Roman numerals and two subsidiary dials, the twin train escapement striking on a bell, the arch painted with two figures holding a shield below motto 'LET BROTHERLY LOVE CONTINUE', the spandrels painted with birds and masonic devices of set square and compass, the trunk with reeded quarter columns, on inlaid panel base raised on bracket feet, 210cm high."


It is being sold by Lindsay Burns in Perth, Scotland, on April 21.
