1 Joseph Knibb, Oxford An exceptionally rare 8-day walnut longcase clock.
Circa 1666 Height
CASE
The well-proportioned plinth is raised on four replacement walnut bun feet and the backboard extends nearly the entire length of the case. The unusual trunk door closes ‘flat-to-the-front’ and retains the original iron hinges.
The rising hood has an architectural pediment, the sides are glazed and it has a cotton-covered aperture in the top to allow the sound of the bell to be heard.
