- Description
- A tall oak grandfather's clock resting on four clawed feet. The bottom is a panelled hollow box. The middle section of the clock has a hinged bevelled glass door that is rounded at the top with carved leaf decoration and carved leaves at each side near the top. The middle door exposes three heavy brass cylindrical balance weights and a large pendulum. There is a glass door at top that reveals the face in a heavy case with a pointed wooden roof and carved twisted columns at the corners and supporting a railing around the very top. Both doors have locks and keys. The clock has a round etched metal face with brass numerals and a brass plate in the middle with finely wrought black iron hands. There are dials to measure seconds and regulate the chime, and an arch over the face contains two hemispheres, and a painted ship and moon on a moving wheel beneath.

- Description
- Multi coloured middle Eastern tapestry in white, blues and browns. Warp runs width wise and appears to be made from animal hair rather than sheep's wool. Most of the warp ends, or fringe, have become untwisted. Tapestry has a woven patch 5.5 x 4.5 cm. on length wise edge, although technique and pattern are the same as tapestry, the colours used are distinctly different, grey, pink and green. The patch appears to be sewn on top of original work as there is no sign of it on the back side. Stitching has become fragile with age, one corner is severely frayed, stitching between warp threads has broken in several spots on the two width wise ends.
