A fine and rare astronomical oak and mahogany longcase clock by Edward Harriman Workington circa 1760-1770, with broken arch pediment and tapered pillars to the hood, with oak door crossbanded in elm and with Corinthian columns, the base with canted corners crossbanded in mahogany and raised on a plinth. Dial width 13", height 18½". The arch accommodates the astronomical work. Within and below the arch is a large ring approximately 8½" in diameter. This intersects the chapter ring. The periphery is marked in degrees to show the suns position in the heavens and engraved Amplitude Occa with effigies of the sun preceding these captions. Between the outer and inner ring a rotating disc carries the sun. The disc has a blue ground and is decorated with clouds. Between the two rings are shutters which are decorated with scenes of people, buildings and horses. These rise and fall throughout the year so that the sun always rises and sets at the correct time and pointers attached to the shutters give the actual time when this occurs. The left side of the inner ring is marked in degrees to show the suns declination north or south of the equator and right side indicates the sign of the zodiac. Within the inner ring the moon rotates with a silvered scale at its periphery and below the moon two globes are depicted with fine floral engraving. Height 88" (225 cm). NOTE: Edward Harriman was born circa 1700 in the Crosby area and was married in 1729. He moved to Workington in the early 1730's and made a few special clocks with astronomical dials and globe moons. He died in Workington in 1776 (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The clock is currently ticking away, striking and seems to be operating as it should. All pieces of the movement appear to be present. We have both weights, the pendulum, the winding key and door key. The clock is currently keeping good time. In our opinion the movement is original to the case and the cheeks do not appear to have been modified. The pediment is finished on the return with Greek keywork also. It has never had roundels. The case is in first class condition with no issues. The doors are not warped. The colour is very good. There is no evidence of any woodworm.
