A 19th century Scottish George IV period mahogany cased Grandfather clock. The clock has decorative painted dial with a scene at the top of "Robert Burns at the Plough". By repute Burns was ploughing a field and turned up a mouse's winter nest destroying it, then wrote a poem about the incident. The corners of the dial have painted scenes of the four seasons and the clock has an eight day movement that strikes the hour on a bell. The case is made from figured mahogany with recessed panels and quarter columns either side of the door. The hood has a carved and shaped swan neck pediment with a turned finial to the centre and the dial has 'Calvert Dundee' painted on. Arthur Calvert was a watchmaker and jeweller situated at 44 Wellgate, Dundee in the 19th century. The case is in good condition with a good rich mahogany colour and the clock is in full working order. (Circa 1835) Height 216cm (85 inches) Width 53cm (20.9 inches) Depth 24.5cm (9.6 inches) "Burns at the Plough" Grandfather Clock
