A GEORGE I POSTED THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE OR WALL CLOCK MOVEMENT AND DIALJOHN SANDERSON, WIGTON, CIRCA 1715The two-handed posted countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the frame with column turned corner posts and ball feet, the 11.5 inch square brass dial with calendar aperture and ring turned 'dummy winding hole' decoration to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with complex cruciform half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed John Sanderson, WIGTON to lower edge, with scroll pierced steel hands and the angles without applied spandrels.The movement and dial 29cm (11.5cm) square, 16.5cm (6.5ins) deep. John Sanderson is recorded in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers as born in Wigton, Cumberland in 1671, he was orphaned at the age of twelve and brought up by his uncle. He was thought to have been apprenticed to John Ogden of Bowbridge and by 1691 he had set up business in Wigton and married a local Quaker girl, Elizabeth Pearson. John Sanderson was a colourful character who apparently travelled to as far afield as Edinburgh to attend Quaker meetings perhaps with the ulterior motive of using such gatherings to peddle his clocks. He had one son, also named John, who followed his father into the clockmaking trade but subsequently left to set up business in Newcastle-on-Tyne after a quarrel. John senior continued working in Wigton presumably until his death in 1754.  The movement of the current lot is typical of Sanderson's work as it closely resembles that of a lantern clock including turned posts and feet which were probably cast in his own workshop. The dial lacks the biblical motto for which Sanderson is famed, however is nicely detailed and distinctive in character. Such movements are thought to have originally been made to sit on wall brackets rather than be housed in a case; a well-made bracket is included in the lot in order for the clock to be enjoyed as the maker intended. Condition Report: Movement appears all original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The pulleys run with chains, it is most likely that the pulley-centres have been replaced as it would have almost certainly been rope-driven. The pinions show slight wear, and both the pallet front pivot plate and backcock have been repaired but the mechanism is in sound working condition. The dial is original to the movement and is in good original condition although the chapter ring has lost its silvering and the brass shows some slight mellowing. The spandrel areas also have filled holes indicating that castings were fitted at one point.Movement is complete with a pendulum, a weight, and a modern wooden wall bracket Condition Report Disclaimer

A THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT AND A NINE-AND-THREE-QUARTER-INCH DIALTHE DIAL INSCRIBED FOR JOHN SNOW, FROME, EARLY 18th CENTURYThe four-finned pillar countwheel striking movement with break-arch shaped plates and anchor escapement for regulation by a seconds pendulum, now fitted with a square brass dial with calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with lozenge half hour markers and engraved John. Snow, Froo... to lower margin, with steel hand and winged mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles with herringbone engraved infill between, (no pendulum, weight or bell); together with a six inch wall clock dial engraved CROOME, WOTTON to the lower edge of the Roman numeral chapter ring, and a small collection of posted longcase and lantern clock parts, including a rare 'first period' lantern clock fret, (qty).The movement and dial 29cm (11.5ins) high, 14cm (5.5ins) deep, 25cm (9,75ins) wide. The lantern clock fret included in the current lot is of the type used on the celebrated early 'first period' clock by Thomas Harvey which is fully described and illustrated in Hooper, John and Darken, Jeff English 30 Hour Clocks, Their Origin and Development 1600-1800 pages 16-22. 

A CHARLES II MINIATURE BRASS LANTERN TIMEPIECE WITH ALARMSIGNED FOR JOHN KNIBB, OXFORD, CIRCA 1680The going train with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum swinging outside of the frame to the rear and motionwork for two hands, the rear with alarm mechanism incorporating verge crown wheel driving vertically pivoted yoke-shaped hammer fitted to the backplate and sounding on the inside of the bell mounted above, the dial with rose-decorated alarm disc within a band of engraved scrolling flowering foliage issuing from a three-petal bloom to the lower margin to centre, within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with squat fleur-de-lys half hour markers and punched dot minute marks to outer track, the frame with one-piece corner castings formed as Doric columns beneath vase finials with collar-turned shoulders, the front and sides applied with symmetrical pierced cast and engraved brass dolphin pattern frets with the front incorporating inscription John Knibb to the lower margin, beneath domed bell bearer capped with a conforming vase finial, with brass side doors, twin iron hanging hoops and spurs to rear, on integral ball-shaped feet, (with probable restoration).23cm (9ins) high, 9cm (3ins) deep, 10.5cm (4.5ins) deep. John Knibb was born in 1650 and was apprenticed to his older brother, Joseph, in around 1664. When Joseph moved to London in 1670 to set up business (presumably in the workshop inherited from his uncle, Samuel) John took on the Oxford workshop gaining the Freedom of the city on payment of a fine in 1673. Joseph Knibb retired in 1697 selling up most of his workshop before moving to Hanslop, Buckinghamshire where he made a few clocks prior to his death in 1711. John Knibb became a high profile figure within the City of Oxford twice becoming Mayor, he continued in business until his death in 1722. Due to the comparative rarity of clocks signed by John Knibb it has been suggested that his workshop may have generally served to supply Joseph's larger concern in London. The strong similarities between John's best work and those signed by Joseph would certainly support this view. However it is also clear that John was a high profile tradesman in the City of Oxford who trained no less than ten apprentices, therefore it is perhaps more likely that, although the two workshops were closely connected, they generally worked separately to supply clocks to differing groups of clients. The present lot would appear to conform with the earlier group of miniature lantern clocks produced both during Joseph's time in Oxford (up to around 1671) and subsequently by John Knibb. These clocks are generally characterised by their one-piece corner castings incorporating well-detailed vase finials decorated with a distinctive incised band just beneath the shoulder. Latterly (perhaps from around 1680) the Knibb workshops generally adopted different castings which incorporated simple small concave sided projections for the finials and button feet. Several examples with the 'earlier' type of frame are illustrated in White, George English Lantern Clocks on pages 257-58 (Figures V/108-11) and again in detail on page 261 (Figure V122), whilst an example of the later type is featured on the front cover of Hana, W.F.J. English Lantern Clocks. Although the current timepiece appears to utilise the earlier type of castings they have perhaps been more tightly turned/finished a little less generously than usual.In conjunction with the vase finial frame castings the Knibb workshops invariably used dolphin pattern frets which are described by George White as a being 'wafer thin' and, more often than not, carried the signature along the lower border. The frets on the current lot can certainly be described as thin, delicate castings. The engraving to the dial centre is very close to that of the later-type frame example illustrated by Hana, however the squat fleur-de-lys half-hour markers appear identical to those on a clock, this time with the earlier vase finial frame castings, by John Knibb illustrated in Lee, Ronald A. The Knibb Family * Clockmakers on page 162 (Plate 176). From these details it would be perhaps appropriate to suggest that the present timepiece was made as the earlier vase finial castings were being phased-out in favour of the later simpler frame.The two-handed configuration of the present timepiece is unusual but not unheard of with regards to Lantern clocks in general. Indeed two-handed clock (albeit quarter chiming) Lantern clock by John Knibb is illustrated by George White on page 260 (Figure V/117). This clock also has 'dot' minute markers (as part of the outer track). There is a possibility that the present clock has been converted to two-handed configuration, if this is the case then it has been executed to a very high standard. Finally, when the considering the present the clock as a whole, other details typical of those originating from the Knibb workshops can be seen; most notably the shaping of the escapement top potance and backcock, as well as the presence of two hanging eyes fixed to the rear of the top plate.Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with delicate wheelwork commensurate with the Knibb workshops. The pivot holes show no evidence of re-bushing or noticeable wear; the pinions also exhibit little in the way of wear. Due to the lack of wear evident we cannot rule-out whether the train is a restoration however it is not unusual for such timepieces to exhibit little use as historically they were often only used occasionally (whilst travelling). There is no obvious evidence that the greatwheel arbor has been modified to allow combined hour and minute gears to be fitted (rather than just having a square for the pinion of report) hence it would appear that the train was made for two-handed motionwork. The alarm mechanism is in similar condition to the going train - ie. complete and well-made but shows negligeable wear.The dial is in fine original condition and, as catalogued, conforms with those seen on other examples emanating from the Knibb workshops. The alarm disc is most likely a restoration. The hands are very well made but are somewhat 'clean' in appearance. The 'dot' minute markers to the outer edge of the chapter ring do not appear to have been added recently hence there is a strong argument that they were executed at the time the chapter ring was made. The frame is in sound original condition however the shaft to the front left hand upright has an inserted section around 1.5 inches long let-in. This is most likely to repair a casting fault at the time of making and is mostly obscured by the chapter ring and side door. The rear left hand finial is a replacement. The top and bottom plates exhibit no evidence of alteration. The frets appear original although the left-hand side fret is not fully finished. The bell bearer is probably a replacement and the bell itself has been repaired (although it rings fine). The side doors appear correct, the left-hand door has a slight casting fault. The hanging hoops and spurs appear a little 'clean' hence may be restorations although the threads securing the spikes are correctly hand cut and show signs of age (slight corrosion and wear). Timepiece is complete with rope lines and weights. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE AND HOROLOGICALLY SIGNIFICANT JAMES I 'FIRST PERIOD' LANTERN CLOCKWILLIAM BOWYER, LONDON, CIRCA 1620The separately wound trains with iron-cheeked pulleys to the great wheels, the going train with reinstated verge escapement regulated by horizontal balance oscillating above the frame top plate, the strike train sounding the hours on a lugged bell mounted above the frame via an iron countwheel with overlift provided by an iron-walled hoop wheel cut with a single slot, the dial finely engraved with a large chrysanthemum bloom over twin entwined stalks set within a field of scrolling flowering foliage to centre, within applied narrow silvered Roman numeral chapter ring incorporating floating asterisk half hour markers and concealing fine signature William Bowyer of Lon Fecit engraved in a downward curve to the plate behind the lower part, with fine sculpted steel hand and foliate engraved infill matching that of the centre occupying the upper quadrants and the lower margin, the frame with finely turned generous Doric column corner posts beneath distinctive ovoid vase finials with banded waists, the front and sides applied with symmetrical scroll pierced cast brass frets with the front incorporating foliate engraved detail, beneath domed iron bell bearer capped with a conforming vase finial incorporating pinned plinth upstand for securing the lugged bell, with brass side doors and the rear with iron hanging hoop over spurs applied to the brass backplate, on collar-turned ball feet.40cm (15.75ins) high, 15cm (6ins) wide, 18.5cm (7.25ins) deep.William Bowyer is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as the son of Ralph Bowyer (yeoman of Warfield Berkshire) who is believed to have been married to Alice Mansworth in 1590. William was probably born around this time and by 1616 was a member of the Pewterers' Company when he took-in Thomas Taylor (son of Ralph Taylor, a milliner from Halesowen, Shropshire) as an apprentice. Bowyer took-in no less than five further apprentices prior to the formation of the Clockmakers' Company in 1631, including John Pennock (son of William Pennock of Guisborough, Yorkshire) in 1620. Although he subscribed £5 towards its charter and was made free of the City in 1630, William Bowyer did not apparently join the Worshipful Company on its establishment the following year.Bowyer is thought to have been first married to Margery Barlow of Litchfield, Staffordshire, however, by 1631 he was married to Prudence with whom he had five children (three of which sadly died in infancy). By 1638 Bowyer was living in the parish of St. Andrew Undershaft, he took-in Joseph Jackson (through Thomas Dawson) as apprentice that year and during the following decade took-on at least four more, this time through the Clockmakers' Company. One of these apprentices was Nathanial Allen (probably around 1641/2); Allen subsequently married a Phillipa Bowyer in 1646 hence became related to William through marriage.In 1640 William Bowyer was invited to become an Assistant of the Clockmakers' Company, however it appears that he was reluctant to serve the Company as in July 1642 he gave 'a great chamber clock' in return for excusal from any further duties. Nevertheless he became an Assistant in 1651 and a Warden in 1653 the year of his death.The present clock belongs to a group of less than half-a-dozen surviving particularly early examples made by Bowyer either just before or around 1620. Of the others the first (dated 1617) was sold at Bonhams, London sale of Fine Clocks 11th July 2018 (lot 60 for £43,750) and the second is illustrated in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers on page 79 (Figures 7.1-4). Another is illustrated in White, George English Lantern Clocks onpage 101 (Figure II/125 showing movement only), and possibly a fourth on page 113 (Figure II/145).All of the above examples share the same frame castings which are very closely related to those used by the earliest of English Lantern clock makers, brothers Robert and Thomas Harvey. These frames are characterised by having well-proportioned Doric column corner posts surmounted by slightly shouldered ovoid vase finials each decorated with a ring around the waist beneath a disc knop. The ball feet are also cast with a collar matching that of the finials. Indeed when the frame of the present clock is compared with that of an example by Thomas Harvey illustrated in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers it can be seen that the castings differ only in very slight detail.In addition to sharing the same design of frame castings it has been noted by Brian Loomes in his article William Bowyer, an exciting and important discovery published in 'Clocks' magazine, June 2018 (pages 9-12) that the movement pivot bar castings follow the same form as those used by Robert and Thomas Harvey. This suggests that these castings may have a common source, most likely the Harvey workshop. It is therefore likely that, during his formative years, William Bowyer had some form of connection with this very important workshop. From the images available it can be seen (with the possible exception of the last clock illustrated by White on page 113) that this group of clocks are all essentially identical with regards to the layout and detailing of the movements. All have iron countwheels, iron-walled hoopwheels, straight hammer checks and iron cheeks to the pulleys (where the originals survive). They also share the same frets hence only essentially differ in the treatment of the dials, and whether an alarm was originally fitted. These inherent similarities suggest, that even at this very early date, a degree of standardisation was being adopted mostly through the use of common castings.The present clock is noticeably well finished with each of the cruciform movement pivot bars having decorative scroll-shaped detailing just above the hammer arbor pivots. This attention to detail is carried forward to the dial which exhibits fine albeit unusual foliate decoration to the entirety of the dial centre. It is perhaps interesting to compare this decoration with that of Bowyers celebrated 'Memento Mori' great chamber clock of 1623 illustrated in Bruce, W.F. EARLY ENGLISH LANTERN CLOCKS 1600-1700 (2013) on page 17. Although the decoration of this larger clock lacks a large flowerhead (or any other large single element) the foliate infill has a similar feel to that of the present clock, albeit in a perhaps slightly more developed form incorporating scrolls and loops to the design.Please see the page-turning catalogue to continue reading the final part of this footnote. 

A RARE WOODEN SPIT JACK MECHANISMPROBABLY SWISS, SECOND HALF OF THE 18th CENTURYThe weight-driven three-wheel train with lantern pinions formed as part of the elaborate baluster-turned arbors, the greatwheel with drum for the driving weight set on an arbor with winding square opposing take-off for a pulley, the third wheel cut as a contrate for driving a fly pivoted within the top bar, the 'door' type frame with extensions to the uprights passing through slots in the top bar for securing by pegs, the bottom bar with pinned mortice-and-tenon joints and threaded holes for securing into position with large wooded screws, (fly, pulley and winding crank lacking, winding clicks incomplete/inoperative).54cm (21.25ins) high, 38cm (15ins) wide, 24cm (9.5ins) wide. The wheelwork of the current lot, most notably the incorporation of lantern pinions within the decorative arbor turnings, can be compared with that of a Swiss wooden-wheeled clock illustrated in Tardy LA PENDULE FRANCAISE, 3,me Partie: Provinces et Etranger on page 456 (upper right). The traditional centre for Swiss wooden-wheeled clock manufacture was Toddenburg; indeed a weight-driven wooden chamber clock of the Toddenburg-type was sold in these room on 2nd October 2019 (lot 104) for £2,800 hammer. 

A RARE CHARLES II MINIATURE WEIGHT-DRIVEN CLOCK MOVEMENT AND DIALTHOMAS WAYLAND, FROME, CIRCA 1680The two train thirty-hour countwheel bell striking single-handed movement with plates measuring 3.875 by 3 inches united by four bold baluster-turned pillars pinned at the rear, the going train with verge escapement regulated by a short bob pendulum and the strike train with reversed greatwheel to save space, the 5 inch square brass dial with calendar aperture and signed in stylised scrolling script Thomas Wayland, Froome fecit to the upper part of the dial centre over stylised tulip blooms issuing from a leafy bud beneath, within applied narrow Roman numeral chapter ring with cruciform half hour markers, with steel arrow hand and concentric coursed 'brickwork' engraved decoration to spandrel areas.14cm (5.5ins) high, 12.5cm (5ins) wide, 7.5cm (3ins) deep. Brian Loomes in Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 refers to the present movement and dial suggesting that it was made in around 1675. Other than this reference to the current lot there appears to be no other record of Thomas Wayland of Frome. The current lot can be best described as somewhat 'jewel-like' in its scale and quality. The trains are well laid-out with the great-wheel of the strike train reversed to allow the plates to be made as small as possible; the pillars are also formed as boldly-turned balusters and pinned at the rear reminiscent of Edward East. The dial engraving is unusual and particularly pleasing. The radial brickwork design to the spandrel areas mirrors that seen on a lantern clock dating to around 1650 attributed to Thomas Browne of Bristol illustrated in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers on page 177 (Figure 10.37); whilst the symmetrical naturalistically rendered tulip sprays are more akin to those decorating a lantern clock dating to around 1670 by Lawrence Debnam of Frome also illustrated by Loomes on page 186 (Figure 11.1).Finally it is tantalising to theorise on the type of case that would have originally housed the present movement and dial. Two options would appear most logical. The first would be a hooded wall case, the second a particularly slender longcase perhaps similar to that housing a clock by Anthony Blackford of Warwick which was sold at Bonhams London sale of Fine Clocks 11th December 2007 (lot 167) for £110,400.Condition Report: The movement appears to retain all of its original wheelwork between the plates including the contrate and escapewheel. Both the going and strike trains will 'run' when motive power is manually applied. Pinion wear appears minimal except to the fly pinion where noticeable wear is visible. The plates are thin and have historic re-bushing and minor punching to the pivot holes. The pallets and backcock and pendulum are probably not original. The top edge of the front plate has two screws inserted into threaded holes - the purpose of these is unknown but is not considered to be indicative of alteration.The hand arbor is a recent replacement (original is included with the lot) as is the strike release detent arm. The hour wheel, star wheel and calendar drive pinion assembly are also of recent making as is the calendar pin-wheel screwed to the rear of the dial. A calendar ring is present and again is most likely of recent manufacture. The calendar rings outer diameter is presently too large hence it will not fit between the four dial feet; the outer edge needs 'turning down' before it will fit however the spacing of the numbers etc appears to indicate that once this has been done the ring can be fitted.The dial is in good original condition retaining old thick gilding to the plate. The calendar aperture has been part-filled to allow shaping of the aperture to match positioning of the numerals engraved on the disc present with the lot. The chapter ring has traces of old silvering - the feet are unusual in that they are long and double-drilled so that they also serve and the dial feet. The hand present with the movement is not original.The present lot generally survives in good original condition with stalled restoration mainly limited to the under dial/calendar work; the restoration has not been completed due to the previous owner passing away.There are no weights included in the present lot. Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM III BRASS LANTERN CLOCK JONATHAN GREENHILL, MAIDSTONE, CIRCA 1695The posted countwheel bell striking movement with Huygens's endless winding and later anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum swinging outside of the frame of the clock to the rear, the dial with leafy scroll engraved concentric band issuing from a rose bloom at six o'clock to centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers, signed Jn'o Greenhill, at Maidstone to lower margin and with engraved leafy infill to angles, the frame with column-turned corner posts beneath dolphin inhabited foliate pierced frets, vase finials and domed bell bearer, the sides now with japanned metal doors and the rear with hanging hoop over conforming backplate, (originally with verge escapement regulated by pendulum swinging between the trains, alarm removed and lacking feet).36cm (14.25ins) high, 17cm (6.75ins) wide, 19cm (7.5ins) deep. John Greenhill is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 (noting research by Michael Person) as born in Maidstone in 1655 and gaining his freedom in 1674. As well as a clockmaker he was also a gunsmith, he married Alice Harris (sister of the clockmaker Walter Harris) in 1680 and died in 1712. Loomes notes several longcases are known and two lantern clocks including an example signed 'Johannes Grennell de Maidston fecit'.Condition Report: The trains have been re-pinioned and the escapement converted from verge with centre-swinging pendulum to anchor with long pendulum swinging at the rear. The alarm mechanism has also been removed otherwise movement is in good original condition but is very dirty/dusty and running with chains. The dial has been cleaned in the past hence has lost its silvering to the chapter ring; the alarm disc is also no longer present otherwise appears to be in good original albeit dirty condition.

A CHARLES II BRASS LANTERN CLOCKWILLIAM HOLLOWAY, STROUD, DATED (16)78The separately wound trains with brass cheeked pulleys now running with chains, the going train with reinstated verge escapement regulated by short pendulum incorporating anchor-shaped flutes to the bob swinging within the frame at the rear, the strike train sounding the hours on a bell mounted above the frame via a countwheel, the dial with vacant circle within concentric band of engraved scrolling foliage issuing from a flowerhead to the lower margin and interrupted by engraved signature William Holloway, of Stroud '78 to the upper edge, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring incorporating wheatear half hour markers, with sculpted steel hand and radial leaf engraved infill to the corners, the frame with one-piece corner castings formed as Doric columns beneath vase finials with acorn shaped caps, the front and sides applied with symmetrical scroll pierced cast brass frets with the front incorporating foliate engraved detail, beneath domed bell bearer capped with a vase finial, with original concentric ring decorated brass side doors and iron hanging hoop to rear, on integral inverted acorn shaped feet.41cm (16.25ins) high, 16.5cm (6.5ins) wide18.5cm (7.25ins) deep. William Holloway is recorded in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers as the son of the clockmaker John Holloway born in 1732 at Market Lavington, Wiltshire. In 1658 he moved, along with his father and younger brother Richard, to Stroud in order to take-on the workshop of the recently deceased John Snow. Holloway was married to Hester Hieron in 1664 and continued working until his death in 1694. William Holloway had three sons one of which, John, continued the business in Stroud after his death; the other two, William and Arthur, moved to London to pursue the trade in the capital.  William Holloway was a confident, accomplished and relatively prolific maker who used distinctive castings for his frames which appear almost unique to the Holloway family. His early clocks (1661 to circa 1680) used castings loosely based on the London second period style but were one-piece (i.e. finials and feet were cast integral with the posts) with tall slender finials capped by distinctive acorn turnings. Three examples by Holloway with this type of frame are illustrated in White, George English Lantern Clocks on page 246 (Figures V/78-80). The second type of frame used was much more akin to the standard London third period pattern but again employed one-piece castings and appeared to be short-lived as they are only seen on clocks dating to the first five or six years of the 1680's (see White, page 247, Figure V/81). The third pattern was again based on London third period practice but was much more generous with distinctly bulbous swellings to the finials and feet, two clocks with this type of frame are illustrated in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers pages 207 and 209 Figures 13.8 and 13.13. Other traits of Holloways work include the continued use of separate winding for each train long after most other makers had adopted Huygens' single-weight endless rope system. Clocks with separately wound trains are characterised by having hour bell hammers positioned to the right hand side of the movement. Loomes suggests that Holloway may have continued this practice as it allowed straightforward disablement of the strike train by simply removing or not winding the strike weight. Another unusual feature peculiar to Holloway was that he often used four wheel trains in order to give a longer duration. The current lot is a typical of Holloway's first phase of work with one-piece castings incorporating acorn-shaped feet and caps to the finials. Indeed the clock can be very closely compared to another example by Holloway dated 1674 illustrated by George White on page 246 (Figure V/79).Condition Report: As catalogued the movement has been re-converted to its original configuration of verge escapement with short pendulum having previously been converted to anchor escapement regulated by long pendulum swinging outside of the case to the rear. The re-conversion has been executed to reasonable standard however the contrate and escapewheel are noticeable replacements due to having slightly different feel (mostly in their weight) to remaining original wheelwork. The potances are well-executed and appear to utilise the original holes; the anchor-shaped pendulum bob is probably a little heavy and has been re-attached using solder. The top plate has spare holes to the rear edge from the previous anchor long pendulum backcock and an enlarged slot beneath the escape wheel to provide space for the previous anchor pallets escapement. The going train second wheel arbor (original) has ben thinned adjacent to the pinion to allow additional clearance for the previous anchor escape wheel. In addition to the above evidence of previous conversion to anchor escapement to long pendulum there is an additional pair of pivot holes (towards the top of the front and centre movement bars) the indicating that the clock may have also been fitted with an anchor escapement with short pendulum (facilitated by increasing the train to four wheels). It is possible that the pendulum for this configuration utilised the same space as the present pendulum which would account for the slot cut in the bottom plate beneath the anchor-shaped bob to allow additional clearance for slightly longer pendulum. The backplate is no longer present and was most likely removed along with the alarm mechanism which would have been mounted to the exterior of the plate at the time of conversion to long pendulum. The original hanging hoop is still present; the corresponding spurs would have most likely been fitted to backplate hence it is most probable that the clock was housed in a tall 'pencil case' type longcase after conversion to long pendulum.Except for the escapement both trains appear to be entirely original and in good order; the pulleys probably originally ran with rope lines. Although the clock is in working order a gentle service/lubrication is advised. The dial is in good original condition with some historic scratching, wear and surface casting texture to the vacant centre where the alarm disc would have been (removed at time of conversion to long escapement); the hand appears original and is nicely made. The frame is in fine original condition and the frets appear original. The bell is a replacement (domed support appears original); the top finial is also a replacement. The side doors are rare original survivors.Clock has two lead weights. Condition Report Disclaimer
