Long-case clock. Dimensions: 86 3/4" high. The clock-case is in walnut, with book-matched sawn walnut veneers and maple stringing. The door-carving is by Simon Louie, a native Salish carver. It depicts a thunderbird and whale; an eagle with salmon; a raven and a full moon. The drawing etched into the brass clock-face is also by Simon Louie. It depicts a 'Cycle of Life' in native Indian culture. The clock hands and numerals are in sterling silver custom-made in the UK by Michael King. The clock is fitted with an eight-day cable movement with night-silence and a choice of chimes. The pendulum rod is inlaid with maple stringing. |
