Here is a fine Scottish tall case clock by James Fowlds of Kilmarnock dating to around 1820. This is fresh from an Ohio estate; the clock was \'gone over\' in 1970. It was originally a flat bonnet with the swan neck pediment added some time 20th century and it\'s a striking addition to the Figured Mahogany case. The dial is original, unrestored with the signature visible under black light. It is typical for the black line work, time track, calendar, and all black to need restoration after 190 years. The painted arch, corners, and white dial are fine so a minor restoration (about $300) could be a consideration. I\'m offering the clock, first, as found.The figured mahogany case is beautiful with string inlay and corners inlaid also. The arch shows a nice inlay on the dovetailed bonnet.The inside back board shows a scripted shipping label via train, \"Mr. David Brown, 297 argyle, Passenger, Glasgow\".The bonnet has original or VERY old wavy glass; the weights are original as is the strap pendulum. OVERALL, this is a great clock that runs and strikes fine but no calendar function.
Measures 86\" high, 18\" wide.
