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 and movement is illustrated in Moore, Rice & Hucker BILBIE and THE CHEW VALLEY CLOCKMAKERS page 245, and the case on page 253. 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. 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 and worked until 1768. Thomas Bilbie sought to live-up to the reputation of his father, this is demonstrated by the current lot which emulates his father`s remarkable thirty-hour musical longcase clock movement and dial 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). The case, although of relatively substantial construction, is well proportioned with the trunk door centred with a parquetry star, a detail often seen on other clocks made by the Bilbie family and other Chew Valley makers during the middle years of the 18th century.
