Lot 84
A thirty-hour longcase clock movement with 10 inch dial in oak hooded wall case, unsigned, late 17th century, the case later. The posted two-train countwheel bell-striking movement with rectangular section posts and 10 inch square brass dial with fine pierced and chiselled steel single hour hand to the matted centre, within an applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised trident half hour markers, the angles with winged cherub head and foliate cast spandrels, the later oak case with moulded cornice above Knibb type pierced fretwork to frieze and twist pilasters to hood, with shaped apron flanked by pendant finials fronting conforming side brackets and backboard beneath, 59cm high overall. The general construction and finish of the current lot is indicative of London work of the period with the finely worked hand and bold half hour markers being reminiscent of the work of Henry Jones. The manner in which the cruciform movement plates are held in position via pins against shaped tongues riveted to the underside of the top-plate is unusual and can be directly compared to a movement by William Grimes, London illustrated in Robinson, Tom The Longcase Clock p.84. This method of fixing also appeared to be favoured by James Delaunce of Frome who is thought to have learned the trade in London, becoming Free of the Clockmakers Company in 1678.
