Holmes was regarded as one of the finest clockmakers of his time and F J Britten comments 'he seems to have been one among the leading mechanicians and when the turret clock at Greenwich Hospital was destroyed by fire in 1779, he was given the order for a new one. The Wetherfield Collection contains two long mahogany case clocks of his manufacture, one a particularly choice example of Chippendale dating from about 1770'.For an almost identical example, see Christie's, 'Important Clocks and Marine Chronometers', 20 February 2008, lot 99. Another similar example with an enamel and brass dial sold in these rooms 23 March 2022, lot 598.Literature: T Robinson, 'The Longcase Clock', 1981, p.168; T Mercer, 'Chronometer Makers of the World', 1991, p.165; T Reid, 'Treatise on Clock and Watch Making', 1832, p.404, pp.432-453.Condition ReportA few small knocks, tiny splits and areas of light cosmetic wear to the case commensurate with age and use. Some light wear, tiny scratches and marks to the dial. The clock was purchased at auction in 2016 and was subsequently worked on by Brian Baskerville, and we are told has since been running well in the vendor's home prior to consignment. Ticks and strikes when wound, however we feel that the clock may benefit from a light service by the successful purchaser. Please see additional photos.
