George III Period mahogany longcase clock with lunar and tidal dials, by Thomas Wiggan, Bristol, circa 1770-1780

The 12 inch brass-and-silvered dial features a lunar dial and high tide times for "Bristol Key" around the arch. Thomas Wiggan's four pillar movement is eight days duration with rack striking on a single bell, with lunar movement and calendar date.
