Grandfather Clock Single Hand

Description

Country cottage provincial c1750 grandfather clock. Very early 30 hour one hand chain driven Bird Cage, movement with lead weight and original brass lead pendulum bob. Attractive smaller size oak case H82 inches x W19 inches x D7 inches. Case is solid with inlay and has been renovated, all the joints are tight. Ticking strongly and keeping very good time, gives a single strike upon each hour. I do not have it striking so it will run for 2 to 3 days between winds. No makers name, small 10 inch dial. I understand from the previous owner that it originally came from the Usk Castle Estate in Monmouthshire Wales which could be true as it has a heraldic look about it. Nice unusual very old clock. Having to reduce the size of my collection hence reason for sale. Clock would be a stunning unique feature in a period property. Movement and dial probably worth more on ebay than I am asking for complete clock if sold separately but do not want to break up the clock after over 250 years of being together! Collection from Maidstone Kent.
