Description:
George II Walnut Tall Case Clock, third quarter 18th century, dial signed David Le Sturgeon, London, column mounted case, rectangular door, long bracket feet, ht. 91 in.
Estimate $3,000-5,000
Veneer losses to upper right of door and upper case; lacking sarcophagus top; blind fret work an old replacement; lower section of case (approximately one foot) restored; seating board probably an early replacement, holes in uprights, with no holes in seating board; good color. Case and movement do not appear to be a marriage, but difficult to tell definitively due to old replaced seating board.
