The lifting high gabled hood with bold cornice and bolection mouldings, glazed to three sides without a door. Above a joined and panelled case with twin panelled and moulded door descending almost full length to a small square panelled plinth, with similar full height framed and panelled ends having bolection mouldings and matching lower panels, retaining the original elm back board and iron hook/spike. All made from high quality quartered oak throughout, with excellent natural colour and surface patination., 203cm high 36.5cm wide 35.5cm deep
Note - Certain longcase clocks of the later 17th century were made to house either a Hook and Spike movement or a Lantern Clock, they did not have an opening door in the hood, it had to be lifted vertically to access the movement, as in this clock. The case’s design can be traced to the earliest of Longcase clocks by Ahasuerus Fromanteel of Norwich and London, after 1656. By the 18th century the majority of clock cases were not of mortice and tenon joined, pegged construction.
Provenance - Albert Gautier Collection, Newton Old Hall, Tibshelf, Derbyshire. Purchased by Herbert and Norma Beedham, early to mid 1970’s. Albert Gautier was an early furniture and clock collector from the 1960’s into the 1970’s.

The Beedham family has been collecting early oak furniture and related works of art for over 70 years, however, the origins of this collection goes even further back.
Beedham Antiques was established in 1974 and moved to Holme Hall in Bakewell Derbyshire a large Grade I listed 15th/16th Manor House where many of the privately owned pieces pieces for sale in this collection were displayed in their authentic surroundings.
Celebrating their 50th year anniversary in the antiques business, The Beedham family is carrying on its tradition of supplying the finest Tudor, Elizabethan and Jacobean furniture to important Manor Houses and collectors alike.
Since the family were great private collectors, many of the pieces on display in the saleroom have not been seen on the market for a number of decades.
