GEORGE BOOTH of ABERDEEN c. 1800
This is a good quality, well-proportioned, restored 8-day brass-faced clock housed in an attractive mid-oak case.
The arched face has Roman and Arabic numerals, with working seconds and date dials. Inside the chapter ring are etchings and the maker's name. There are brass spandrels to the corners and also to the arch.
The restored movement is clean, keeps good time, and rings the hour on a bell. The hood has an arched top with a broken arch and central brass finial, supported on wooden pillars with brass capitals.
The trunk has a full-length door with an arched top and a working lock and key. It sits on small bun feet. Please note that the strike/silent mechanism was removed during a full restoration.

•Height: 86.25 inches
•Width: 19 inches
