This is an 18th century quarter chiming carved oak longcase clock by Dan. Binney of Edinburgh, England. The clock has a flat topped hood with dentil moulding and brass capped columns, and the straight-sided trunk has a break-arched door on a rectangular base with a moulded plinth. The 12 inch silvered dial is signed to the arch with shell and foliate engraving to the corners. |
The clock has Roman and Arabic chapters with subsidiary seconds and a calendar aperture. The substantial movement involves five knopped pillars with an anchor escapement, chiming the quarters on a nest of six bells and striking the hour on a bell.
