A George III mahogany wall clock circa 1770, dial signed Alexander Cumming, London

with a 9 3/4 inch dial.

Hotspur, London

This elegant wall clock is generally in good restored condition. It should be noted that Sotheby's cannot guarantee the movement and the piece has not been tested. There are no weights. The adjustable pendulum is currently not attached to the movement. The silvered dial is good, it is splattered with varnish or spots from polish. The mahogany case is lovely quality, there are repairs to veneers and there is a small patch to the top hinge on the right side of the door. There are age cracks to the hood.
