Long case clock





This is an extremely rare burrwood long-cased clock, late 18c. with Masonic references by John Blaylock, Longtown, with an etched arch brass style centred by Holy Bible, fields and trowels, half moons, pillars, ladders, scrolls, etc. above a circular Roman numeric and Arabic dial with subsidiary second hand and date aperture with raised brass spandrels with eight-day movement fitted in a heavily carved burr walnut case with star pointed door, the whole raised on splayed supports, 224 cms. high.

It is being sold by Brown and Co. in Brigg, Lincs, later this month with an estimate of up to £2,500.
