England. Circa 1860.

​

Fancy for a country clock, this particular tall case clock has an impressive dial and mahogany cross banding and inlay that dress it up in formal wear suitable for a country estate.  A beautifully arched swan neck pediment on the bonnet leads the eye down to a painted break arch featuring the small portrait of a girl holding a dove.  The narrow case has a tombstone door flanked by fluted quarter columns and the base is raised on shaped bracket feet.
