Antique Garrards Longcase Clock – c.1920

Garrards Longcase Clock – c.1920 An early 20th-century longcase clock by Garrards, c.1920, the mahogany case decorated with boxwood and mahogany inlays forming a diamond motif to the trunk door and base. The shaped hood, similarly inlaid, has a glazed door with its original working lock and key, which also secures the main case door. The fine quality brass and silvered dial includes a subsidiary dial to select chime or silent. The 8-day movement plays the Westminster chimes on the hour, quarter hour, and half hour. This example is slightly smaller in proportion than many longcase clocks, making it well suited for a range of interiors. Provenance: Acquired from an antique shop in Hampshire where it was previously offered at £1,800. Dimensions: Height: 216 cm (85.5") Width (base): 45 cm (18") Depth: 28 cm (11")
