William Reeve of Spalding appears to be unrecorded however the frame design and dial engraving stylistically date this clock to around 1690 and is reminiscent of the work of Thomas Power of Wellingborough (see Lot 656 Dreweatt Neate, Apsley Road, Bristol 2nd November 2004). The gilding to the frame is highly unusual and appears to have been done very early in the clock’s life or possibly at the time of its manufacture. The current lot appears to have also survived in particularly original condition, the mechanism appears to be completely intact including the escapement and pendulum.

The use of single-sheet dials by some of the Chew Valley clockmakers predates the general fashion by around 20 years, the earliest known example by a member of the Bilbie family being on a thirty-hour longcase clock by William Bilbie of Axbridge who died in 1767.

John Grant is recorded as working in Fleet Street 1786-1810. He was apprenticed to and later went into partnership with his uncle the renowned clock and chronometer maker Alexander Cumming who, along with other eminent makers such as Thomas Mudge, was appointed by the board of longitude to assess Harrison’s marine timekeepers.

Joseph Quarman is recorded in Moore, A.J. The Clockmakers of Somerset 1650-1900 as working from 1729, however Moore, Rice & Hucker speculate in Bilbie and The Chew Valley Clockmakers that there may well have been two makers of this name as there is a Parish record of the burial of a Joseph Quarman in 1793.
Lot 89
A William III walnut and arabesque marquetry eight-day longcase clock Peter Garon, London, circa 1700.

Peter Garon is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as being admitted to the Clockmakers Company in 1687. He worked firstly from St Bartholomew’s Lane and later St Giles, Cripplegate and was declared bankrupt in 1709. Two clocks of the same marquetry pattern are illustrated in Bruton, Eric The Wetherfield Collection of Clocks page 165 (Joseph Windmills) and 179 (Jonathan Lowndes). Both of these examples have caddy upstands, however the construction of the hood and profile of the cornice mouldings suggests that the current Lot was supplied in its current form.
