An 8 day longcase clock dial dating from about 1830. There is a clock recorded in Iorweth C. Peate's 'Clock and Watch Makers of Wales' made by John Winstanley of Beaumaris in 1820, probably the same maker, but this style of clock is a little later. As you can see from the before and after pictures it's had a light clean, the figures, signature, globes, numbers on the date wheel, seconds indicator and circles have been re-inked, and the faded gold has been re-painted. The disc indicating the moons fazes has been very lightly cleaned.
