Late 18th century-8-day mahogany longcase clock c 1780, with a break arch pediment and conforming hood door beneath, door flanked by reeded capitals with brass capitals, plain mahogany trunk with a figured veneer door and break ach top, plinth with inlayed border raised on a shaped base, early painted dial with matching blue painted scroll spandrels and a depiction of a classical urn to the arch, with a subsidiary seconds dial, original steel hands, Roman numerals, five-minute Arabic's and minute markers, dial pinned via an early "Wilson" false plate to a rack striking weight driven movement, striking the hours on a bell. With weights, pendulum and key. The makers name and place of work would have been written in a cartouche at the bottom of the dial, there are slight traces of the name but unfortunately it is undecipherable. James Wilson of Birmingham (1777-1809) was one of the most prolific dial makers in the early period of the painted longcase dial.

Further Information & Condition Report

Dating back to the late 18th century, this 8-day mahogany longcase clock circa 1780 features a break arch pediment and a hood door below, flanked by reeded capitals with brass accents. The plain mahogany trunk showcases a figured veneer door with a break arch top, sitting on a plinth adorned with an inlaid border and a shaped base. The early painted dial boasts matching blue painted scroll spandrels and a classical urn depiction in the arch, complemented by a subsidiary seconds dial, original steel hands, Roman numerals, five-minute Arabics, and minute markers.

The dial is pinned via an early "Wilson" false plate to a rack striking weight-driven movement, which strikes the hours on a bell. This exquisite timepiece comes complete with weights, pendulum, and key. While the maker's name and place of work would typically be inscribed in a cartouche at the bottom of the dial, only slight traces remain, making it undecipherable.

James Wilson of Birmingham (1777-1809) was a renowned dial maker during the early period of painted dials. Don't miss the opportunity to acquire this exceptional piece at auction with Duggleby Auctioneers.
