DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ‘IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS’ printed in the sale catalogue or available from the auctioneers on request. Provenance: The family of the late Ernest Hucker. The dial is illustrated in Moore, Rice & Hucker BILBIE and THE CHEW VALLEY CLOCKMAKERS page 303 The clockmaking trade in Chew Stoke was thought to have started around 1695 when the established bell-founder Edward Bilbie I (born 1666) turned his hand to clockmaking. He is thought to have learnt the trade from Edward Webb who worked from the nearby village of Ubley. Bilbie was clearly a talented maker as demonstrated by the remarkable thirty-hour musical longcase clock movement and dial by him included in the exhibition TIME & PLACE 1600-1840 The Antiquarian Horological Society at The Museum of the History of Science, University of Oxford, 25th November 2006 to 15th April 2007 (exhibit number 21). Edward Bilbie had two sons, Edward II (born 1694) who assisted his father but unfortunately died within six months of his father in 1725, and Thomas (born 1702) who inhereted his father`s business in 1725 (see previous lot) and worked until 1768. Edward II had a son which he also named Edward (born circa 1715), who was thought to have been brought up by his uncle, Thomas, and worked alongside him until around 1768. Using the spandrels for dating, the current lot was probably made by Edward Bilbie III during the third quarter of the 18th century. Posted thirty-hour longcase clock movements by the Bilbie family changed very little throughout the entire 18th century with only detail desgn such as the spandrels and chapter ring engraving providing a guide to dating.
