A longcase clock, the case veneered in mahogany with stringing of satinwood, with an oval panel in the door and a circular panel on the base, the arched dial painted, the cresting of the hood also painted with flowers.
Break arch painted iron dial, notionally 13 inches square; the arch extending upwards 5½ inches. The dial is attached to the movement by a plain, iron falseplate, located between the movement and the dial. The four spoke train wheels have semi-circular to star-shaped crossings, with remnants of scribe lines for filing to shape. The M&M painted dial has the style of early examples made by Wilson of Birmingham, England.
