19th Century Hodson Chorley tall Case Clock. Talk about your spectacular English clock. This one has more style and workmanship then you could ever imagine ? this is a killer clock and I absolutely love it. It has a very fine oak case which has a bold yet elegant grain. It is inlaid with herring bone inlays of satinwood and ebony along with corner fan inlays on the waist of the clock along and base. The door is quite shapely ? as I hope you can see. It has a very architectural bonnet ? which just reminds me of soldiers or old German buildings. It has two brass rosettes on the central arch along with a central interesting brass ball finial which has a Scottish thistle leaf on top. It has side brass finials. It has a very interesting silvered chapter ring on brass dial with exceptional four season spandrels. The center dial is matted (frosty finish). The winding arbors ringed (which is a sign of early clocks). It has an eight day locking plate strike mechanism which strikes on the hour. It is a wonderful clock ? signed on the face Hodson Chorley. If memory serves me well Hodson Chorley is of the Lankishere England Region. The surface patina on this clock is rich and lustrous. The color combination of the inlays on the brass is extremely spectacular! You can?t ask for more on a tall case clock ? it is absolutely wonderful - I guarantee you! The one and only problem that I see is the glass door has a very old crack in it. It is hard to see but never the less it is ...
