The current lot is illustrated by Linnard (on page 115) where it is erroneously described as being in a mahogany case. The use of walnut for the veneers and general detailing of the design and layout is reminiscent of examples made by Bristol makers such as Benjamin Stretch and John Jordan during the 1740Õs; this suggests that the current lot is more likely to have been made prior to 1750. Another example by William Charles with ÔHigh Water at Chepstow BridgeÕ resides at the Chepstow Museum.

A George III green japanned eight-day longcase clock Daniel Keele, Salisbury, circa 1770 The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with 12 inch brass break-arch dial with recessed silvered subsidiary seconds dial and applied arched nameplate Dan Keele, SARUM to the finely matted centre within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles, the arch with starburst centre engraved subsidiary calendar dial flanked by conforming mounts, in a break-arch case with cavetto moulded cornice above three-quarter columns to hood and break-arch door to trunk decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with figures within an oriental garden terrace landscape with pavilions, on plinth base with conforming landscape decoration to front and double skirt, 215cm (84.5ins) high. Daniel Keele is recorded in Snell, Michael Clocks & Clockmakers of Salisbury as an exceptional maker (because of the number of Act of Parliament clocks that he produced) who was working from the sign of the DukeÕs Head in Catherine Street, Salisbury by 1757. Keele clearly had entrepreneurial traits as he formed partnerships with various cabinet makers and by 1770 he had moved and opened a large ÔAuction Room, Repository and Ware-houseÕ in the Market Place. He is thought to have ceased trading in 1779 when his entire stock in trade was put up for sale and the leases for his properties advertised. It seems from all the examples illustrated by Snell (a bracket clock, two tavern clocks and a longcase) that Keele had a preference for japanned cases, Snell suggests that these cases could have possibly been made in-house by the cabinet makers with whom he shared his premises.

George Hewitt is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as a maker of astronomical and musical clocks who worked from Marlborough circa 1720-69. The current lot is testament to his skilled and inventive approach which, in addition to the incorporation of a rare automata feature to the arch of the dial, also has the refinement of centre seconds and rolling moonphase neatly incorporated into the centre..
