Presenting a late 19th-century 30-hour oak and mahogany longcase clock crafted by D Hudson of Otley. This exquisite timepiece features a swan-necked pediment, break arch hood door, and ring-turned pilasters. The inlaid trunk showcases recessed columns and a short trunk door with inlay and a bone escutcheon. Resting on a rectangular conforming plinth with a shaped base, this clock boasts a painted dial adorned with geometric spandrels and a depiction of Britannia to the arch. The dial displays broad Roman numerals, the maker's name, and a calendar dial.
The clock mechanism includes a chain-driven countwheel striking movement, which chimes the hours on a bell. A pendulum is also included.
