As the April 26 Clock Auction draws near, clocks valuer Mike Wetton highlights a favourite lot.
Collectors have a rare opportunity to buy this fine Tiffany and Co, eight-day musical longcase clock, lot 81, estimate £3000-£6000.
With three train movements chiming on rods and a moon phase, it is a superb example of craftsmanship and quality.
This stunning clock which has been in the same family for more than 50 years and is in good original condition.
It was made by the Waltham Clock Company and retailed by high-end store Tiffany.
It was a privilege to examine this timepiece at close quarters and admire the workmanship and creative beauty. Examples like this rarely come to the market.
This together with a Rowley Musical clock, the Peter Mayo Clock Collection and AN unusual musical automata of a Spanish ship under a glass dome, means there is something for everyone in The Clock Auction.
