A QUEEN ANNE POSTED THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT WITH TEN-INCH DIALUNSGNED, PROBABLY LANCASHIRE, EARLY 18th CENTURYThe countwheel bell-striking movement with separately wound trains, anchor escapement for regulation by seconds pendulum and well detailed column-turned corner posts, the 10 inch square brass dial engraved with stylised urn and tulip blooms within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with large sword-hilt half hour markers, with scroll-pierced brass hand and cast figural spandrels emblematic of the four seasons to angles, (no pendulum or weights).33cm (13ins) high, 18cm (7ins) deep overall. The current lot can be directly compared to another unsigned movement and dial housed in an oak case described and illustrated in Darken, Jeff TIME & PLACE, English Country Clocks 1600-1840 pages 72-73. Of particular note is the very similar dial engraving which is almost certainly executed by the same hand as that of the current lot. Details in both the movements, such as separately wound trains, design of the bell-stand and hammer, and identical pattern of corner post casting would appear to confirm that both the example illustrated by Darken and the current lot originated in the same workshop. The slighter later pattern of spandrel casting present on the current dial would suggest that it probably dates to the early 18th century rather than around 1690 suggested for the other example described by Darken. Condition Report: Movement is complete and in fine original 'untouched' condition. The front leading edge of the top plate has a strip of brass secured by two screws just in front of the front movement bar to ensure the bar remains securely in place. The upper dial securing lug has two later screws of incorrect type otherwise movement appears 100 percent original. The trains exhibit some noticeable pinion wear however the pivots are generally very good hence the trains will run. Mechanism has general dark oxidised patination and is dusty. The dial plate has slight bow - bending backwards at each corner behind each spandrel and the hand has an old repair replacing the tip otherwise is in fine original untouched condition albeit very dirty/discoloured.Movement does not have weights, ropes or pendulum.
