AN ENGLISH BRASS LANTERN CLOCK, LONDON, FIRST PERIOD unsigned, the dial finely engraved with a ring of flowers, the silvered chapter ring of roman numerals with quarter and star shaped half divisions, having iron hand, strapwork frets, banded ovoid finials, bell straps divided by leaves and iron bell, the movement with cruciform bars and now with anchor escapement, on bulbous feet, 41cm h, c1625-30 In 1987 this clock was the subject of correspondence (with which it is sold) between the late owner and George White, the author of English Lantern Clocks, published in 1989. Sir George, to whom the enquiry had been referred by the British Museum, observed that the rough castings of the frame can be found on a number of clocks by William Bowyer of Leadenhall Street. He also commented on the engraving which he describes as "particularly beautiful" and "full of [symbolism]" although suspecting that the engraver had executed it the wrong way up! ++Alarm work, doors, back, hoop, spurs and some other parts missing; long in the late owner`s possession and not subject to any recent or `professional restoration`, requires a light clean, but essentially complete and a good example from this early period.
