A WALNUT EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK SIGNED FOR BROUNKER WATTS, LONDON, LATE 17TH CENTURY AND LATERThe four finned pillar inside countwheel bell-striking movement with anchor escapement and seconds pendulum, with a ten-inch brass dial with calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds to the matted centre within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring engraved Brounker Watts, London to lower edge, with pieced steel hands and winged cherub spandrels to angles, in a case with fretwork frieze over Solomonic three-quarter columns to hood, convex throat mouldings and long trunk door with book-matched veneers, on conforming plinth base with moulded skirt198cm high, 43cm wide, 25cm deep Brounker Watts is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born in around 1670, he was apprenticed to Joseph Knibb from 1684/5 until 1691 and gained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1693/4. In around 1695 he married Ursula Walford and in 1696 he is recorded as working from Fleet Street, London. His name is on the company's Oath of Allegiance which was signed the following year. In 1698 Watts was living in the parish of St. Dunstan in the West and is recorded as avoiding stewardship of the Clockmaker's Company in 1711 due to being 'out of town'. Brounker Watts died in 1717 and was buried in his home parish of St. Dunstans in the West.Condition Report: The movement is in fairly clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements it would appear that the mechanism has received a light service fairly recently. The dial is in good condition with only some slight historic light surface scuff/blemishes to the plate and slight mellowing and patchy tarnishing to the silvering. When the clock was previously sold by Bonhams (24th November 2020) they suggested that the dial plate may be a replacement however we cannot see any evidence of this in the plate itself or the movement hence would be inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt. The hands are well made and in good condition.The movement seatboard is a replacement although it rests directly onto the cheek uprights of the trunk at the correct level. The case has a pine carcass with the structure of the trunk surviving in sound condition. The upper section of the backboard (behind the movement) has been replaced with well-matched timber and a baton applied over the joint to the rear surface. The structure of the trunk continues part way down into the plinth base with the lower sections of the backboard and side panels showing historic degradation/wear/losses to lower edges. The outer box plinth base is an older restoration. The hood would appear to also be an older restoration. The fact that the case has a pine carcass (rather than oak as mostly seen on 'period' cases) together with the walnut veneers being relatively thin would indicate that the veneers are later. From this it is most probable that the case was most likely restored and veneered (around/onto a period carcass) during the early to mid 20th century. The surface presents in good condition with some slight shrinkage, bumps, scuffs, a few small veneer chips and other very minor age-related blemishes. The veneer overlap to the mask around the dial (only visible when the hood door is open) has some slight wear/losses to the edge.Clock is complete with pendulum (with butterfly-type rating nut) two brass-cased weights, a case key and a crank winder.Generally a very attractive example of fine proportions in working order.
