W.T. Norgain of Wimbledon Oak Long case Victorian 18th Century Grandfather Clock

A beautiful 18th-century English longcase clock, featuring a warm-toned oak case with an elegant architectural hood and a wonderfully characterful painted dial.

The dial is signed W.T. Norgain, Wimbledon, S.W.19 and features a classic Roman numeral chapter ring, subsidiary seconds dial, date aperture and charming floral decoration to each corner.

The movement is stamped Walker & Hughes, the renowned Birmingham clock dial and component makers, whose work was widely supplied to independent clockmakers and retailers during the early 19th century.

A particularly lovely feature is that the clock remains in working order and chimes beautifully on the hour. It is also accompanied by its original winding key. Wear and tear consistent with its age and use but no major damage, one skirt missing from the side of the base plinth.

An attractive and interesting example of traditional English horological craftsmanship, full of period charm, history and character.
