Provincial, mahogany or mahoganized oak, two weight, eight day time and hourly striking longcase clock, made by Charles Maxey, Wallingford, (Berkshire/Oxfordshire), England circa 1765-1770.Case: 200 cm x 50 cm x 27 cm mahogany or mahoganized oak longcase clock made in the provincial manner of the English southern countryside. The hood has a flat top, overhung ogival moulded pediment with down to a tympanum which is essentially a horizontal frieze above a multi-stepped cornice sitting over the square glazed dial door which has no evidence of ever having hood pillars and has a small rectangular stile at the rear of the outer hood. There is a large concave moulding that transitions down to the trunk section with its full length rectangular door with two exposed knuckle hinges on the right and a brass key escutcheon on the left side. The interior of the door has breadboards added to prevent warping of the door and elongated lantern hinges are noted inside the door. The front corners of the trunk are sharp with evidence of columns. An ogival shaped moulding leads down to the squarish unadorned base which sits in a broad flat base moulding, flat to the floor. . . . Dial: A square brass dial plate with applied silvered roman hour chapter ring with closed bar minute track to the outside with large Arabic numerals placed at each five minute marker (the large size Arabic numerals usually point to a date in mid to late second half of the 18th century. The dial centre is engraved with floral and foliate curling patterns along with a hanging lantern or two and many vines. There are likely matching steel diamond shaped hands dating to the 19th century and are apparent replacements for the originals. The hour hand is hidden by the auction sign. The bottom of the chapter ring is engraved “Cha†Maxey, Wallingfordâ€. The cast and applied gilt corner spandrels are of the ‘C’ scroll and foliate type and date in England to the era 1760-1785, and appear quite correct. The dial plate fits the dial matte perfectly. . . Movement: Not shown and most likely this would be a double weight driven solid brass rectilinear shaped movement with the front and rear plates connected by knopped and cuffed brass pillars (four), anchor recoil escapement, flywheel and either a rack and snail or countwheel striking system powered by the descent of two brass canister weights, most likely of eight day duration but may also be of 30 hour duration. (The movement has not been shown) There is a long pendulum rod and brass covered bob swinging inside the trunk of the casing. . . . . . Condition: I believe this is a mahogany stained oak case made in the countryside of England. The lack of hood pillars suggest that the door may have been replaced or the hood pillars simply left off the case to save on cost. Loss of finish in spots, especially at the base. Replaced set of steel hands. The fact that the weights are not link chain held I believe this to be an eight day clock where the cabinetmaker made the simplest case that he could. Remember that early on most worked as undertakers who built coffins before English longcase clocks were devised in the 1670s. Condition of the dial is very good except for the replaced hands and the dial belongs to this case c. C. 1765-1770
A POSSIBLY UNIQUE MUSICAL LANTERN CLOCKBy Thomas Archer, Moreton in Marsh, circa 1690/1720The dial: 10 1/2in. square brass dial with cherub mask spandrels, the brass chapter ring signed Tho Archar Moreton Inmahis, with single outer line, Roman chapters between fine tridents, and twin inner lines with quarter marking, enclosing a matted centre with single pierced steel hand The movement: With posted frame surmounted with four vase-shaped finials, and a large bell with cutaway section for the carillon carriage, supported by a quatrefoil strap and turned finial, three train movement with anchor escapement, hourly strike from an internal countwheel and musical movement on a carillon of eight bells with eight shaped hammers with a secondary countwheel on the central rear post, played from a wooden barrel with steel pins and brass wheel work The case: In a later oak case with a moulded pediment above dentil ornament, with glazed door flanked by Corithian columns, above teh trunk with rectangular panel door outlined with a parquetry design, on stepped base inlaid with a marquetry foliate oval205cm highThis magnificent and rare clock by Thomas Archer is charmingly signed using a variant of the family surname. It is highly likely that authorship can be attributed to the father: it may, however, be by his first-born of the same Christian name, or possibly even by them both! Thomas Archer (b. 1641), a blacksmith and gunsmith, (sometimes written Archar or Archard) lived in Moreton-in-the-Marsh. He died in 1721. His eldest child was also Thomas (b. 1670) and followed his father in the blacksmith and gunsmith trade at Moreton. In the father’s Will of October 1720 (Thomas Snr.) he leaves his tools to be shared between his two sons, Walter (b. 1674 - d. 1742) and Charles (b. 1676). The implication of this is that Thomas (Jnr.) had predeceased his father by this date. Walter and Charles are known to have moved from Moreton in the last years of the 17th Century and worked as partners in Stow-on-the-Wold. A good deal has been written about the Archers by Loomes and Smith.
