1322. 2679863. A WALNUT BRACKET CLOCK.

Description

late 17th or early 18th century, the brass dial with 5 1/2" silvered chapter ring with Roman numerals, Arabic seconds and date aperture on a brass twin fusee repeating movement signed Cuthbert Lee, London, striking hourly to two bells, the moulded sarcophagus top with brass floral decoration and handle, glazed sides and twin repeating pulls, with bob pendulum and winder, height excluding handle 32cm; with a later plain walnut bracket

*Lee, Cuthbert. London a.1668 in CC to Robert Williamson of London, q.v., free in CC1676 and working in Jewett Street, London till c.1720 or later [Loomes, 'Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World', 2006, p.472.

Condition

Appears to wind and strike at the time of cataloguing but functionality not guaranteed.

The bolts underneath and screw heads at back have been polished and may not be original but the steel work on the front of the frontplate of the movement has not been heavily restored

The escapement has been restored . Possibly had a suspension spring and has been converted to a knife edge with box pallets (a later version of a verge escapement) about 100 years ago.

It has a quarter pull repeat on 2 bells, probably for left and right handed use with the pulls. The quarters strike before the hours

The unevenness of the joints of the veneer on the case is commensurate with its age rather than its being totally smooth when you might think it had been reveneered.

Key/keys included.
