Fine and rare James II period Walnut Marquetry London Longcase clock by John Moncreif a well regarded early maker working before 1688

The case is veneered in walnut with floral marquetry panels and has a glass 'lenticle' to the trunk door and barley-twist columns to the trunk

The high quality movement is 8 day duration and has five turned pillars - inside countwheel striking and sounds the hours on a bell

The brass dial has a silvered chapter ring - day of the month aperture above six o'clock and is signed "John Moncreif - London" along the bottom edge

An exemplary clock with lots of good early features in as near perfect condition as the passage of almost 320 years will allow
