A rare early George I period figured walnut bracket clock by this excellent clock maker. The fully restored 8-Day movement with its verge escapement runs for 8 days, strikes the hours on a bell and has a pull repeat mechanism for recalling the last hour and last quarter hour on three bells. The dial has two cherub head and foliate corner spandrels, inset date work, an aperture for the dummy pendulum bob and the maker’s name engraved on a silvered plaque within the finely matted centre. 

The backplate consists of a central vase of flowers with birds, scrolling foliage, and there is a wheatear engraved border. 

The patinated walnut veneered case is in remarkably original condition and it retains its original brass scroll carrying handle. Its small size and shallowness are of particular appeal, as is the rich mellow colour of the figured walnut veneers.
