Exceptional mahogany c.1904 Gothic style grandfather clock made
by Herschede. This clock is illustrated on page 239 in Longcase Clocks and
Standing Regulators by Tran Duy Ly. The case has carved spires and other
applied carvings on the hood. Both the sides of the hood and the front door
have an intricate Gothic open fretwork design. The movement was made by
J.J. Elliott, England and was sold in this country to Herschede by Harris
and Harrington. Elliott movements were considered one the best of their
era. This one has nine tubes that play Westminster, Whittington and St
Michael chimes. It has a second hand and plays a tune on each quarter hour
and strikes the hour. The revolving moon dial has been repainted. The
movement has been cleaned and is in good working condition. Most Gothic
style clocks are imposing and massive. This one has a simple yet very
stylish elegance. A great clock!
