Fun Facts:
A few grandfather clocks were made in London during the Regency period (1800-1830). They are well-built, elegant clocks of a simple beauty, less than 215 cm high and often with a round dial, either engraved and silvered or painted.
By 1830 the age of London grandfather clocks was over. The market was flooded with clocks from France, and later from Germany and America. By 1860, production in the north of England had also largely come to a standstill. [...] Source: Derek Roberts - The English Longcase Clock p. 10

Both the shape of the case and the design of the dial are typical of the Edinburgh region in the years 1820-1840.

Condition:
The movement has been completely disassembled and cleaned from scratch, overhauled and re-adjusted.
The case has been refurbished and polished with shellac.
Perfect technical and optical condition.
