I have a mid 19th century mahogany cased 8 day, painted dial longcase clock with moon phase with Whittaker of Rawtenstall on the face. circa 1850
I have still got the 2 weights, the pendulum, the key to wind it up and the key to lock the door.

it’s not been going since my father died around 20 years ago.

I would appreciate some advice, should we get it mended then sell or just sell.
please see attachment

nice clock.

the wide cases get a nickname and have become most undesirable type long case clocks in the antique world after the drum head style.

I personally like them.


The face and face looks in good shape

I presume the two holes in the face are key holes and the clock is an 8 day. Sometimes the wholes are false.

It is best not to have it fixed because if you are not in the antique trade a clock man may charge you more than the clock is worth to fix it.

I could be interested as I have a customer, give me a ring 07714 32 22 52
