In the manner of John Pace & Benjamin Parker of Bury St Edmunds - a 19th century brass skeleton clock, having silvered Arabic dial, shield-shaped frontplate, chain-driven eight-day fusee movement with anchor escapement, the whole raised upon an oval plinth on brass feet, on further ebonised stand and under glass dome, h.24.5cm (excluding dome)Note: John Pace was born in Whitechapel and hailed from an eminent Quaker family of clock and watchmakers who had been registered as working in the area from at least the 1630s. By 1804 he is recorded as working in Bury St Edmunds, and later more specifically in Abbeygate Street (No.19) from 1823 until 1855.

This comprised of two clocks and a barometer; one of these being a skeleton clock which ran for three years on just one winding. He is referred to in the Exhibition catalogue as “Pace, J. Bury St Edmunds, - Inventor, Designer & Manufacturer”.In a town bristling with renowned clockmakers, Pace managed to rapidly gain a good reputation for his inventiveness as well as for the quality of his work. His ingenious nature led to him patenting an illuminated ‘night timepiece’ (No.6506) in 1833, and creating elaborate skeleton clocks such as these examples. However, Pace was clearly happy to work on all manner of clocks, watches and barometers, and formed a strong working relationship with Bury St Edmunds gunsmith and clockmaker Benjamin Parker – sharing design and precision work between them to produce excellent pieces.Benjamin Parker was born in 1795 and baptised at St Mary’s Church in Bury St Edmunds in 1796.

Ray Bury St Edmunds', the whole raised on walnut hexagonal plinth with brass ball feet, under a glass dome (dome cracked and probably associated), h.26.5cm (excluding dome)This clock is typical of John Pace and his workshop, however due to their Quaker background, some people were reluctant to buy from Pace directly; therefore a small number of clocks were signed by David Ray who is recorded in Haggar & Miller as trading from 25 Hatter Street in the 1844 and 1846 directories.Note: John Pace was born in Whitechapel and hailed from an eminent Quaker family of clock and watchmakers who had been registered as working in the area from at least the 1630s.
