Jo. Heywood, Northwich, an oak and mahogany moon-phase longcase clock having an eight-day duration movement striking the hours on a bell, the fourteen-inch square painted dial having black Arabic hour numerals and outer five-minute numerals, with figures depicting the four Continents painted to the corners, decorative brass hands, a large moon-phase aperture to the centre and maker’s name ‘Jo. Heywood, Northwich’, with the falseplate stamped with the dialmaker’s name ‘Wilson’, the oak case having a shaped top to the crossbanded trunk door, gadrooned pillasters to the edges, the base with canted corners and a shaped raised panel, the flat-top hood having a swan-neck pediment with brass paterae and fluted pillars having cast brass capitals, with various inlays and stringing to the remainder of the case, height: 217cm. * Jo. Heywood appears to be unrecorded although there are a number of other Heywood’s recorded in the clock trade in Northwich, Cheshire. * James Wilson was a pioneer of the painted ‘enamel’ dial having started his manufactory in Birmingham in circa 1772 in partnership with Thomas Osborne when he was aged about seventeen and Osborne about twenty. An advert from Aris’s Birmingham Gazette in 1772 describes the partners making ‘White Clock Dials in Imitation of Enamel, in a Manner entirely new’, being the new style of painted dial that was to become so popular. On the dissolution of the partnership in September 1777 James Wilson set up on his own account at 11, Great Charles Street before enlarging into number 12. Wilson died in 1809, aged 54, and his business effectively went with him after a relative of his wife, Nathaniel Porter, tried unsuccessfully to run it before going bankrupt in 1811.
