This mid-18th-century 8-day oak longcase clock by John Greaves of Newcastle showcases exquisite craftsmanship. The clock features a flat top, double cornice, and a break arch hood door adorned with turned pilasters. The trunk is elegantly designed with canted corners and a spire-topped door with crossbanding, resting on a rectangular plinth supported by bracket feet.
The brass dial is a true highlight of this timepiece, boasting cast spandrels and a penny-moon dial with a pointer in the arch. The matted dial centre is accentuated by a silvered chapter ring and seconds ring, complete with Roman numerals, five-minute Arabic markers, minute and quarter tracks, a square date aperture, and fettled steel hands. The dial is meticulously pinned to a rack striking movement featuring a recoil anchor escapement.
