A well preserved Chinoiserie longcase clock by this well known provincial Clockmaker.
The early movement features 5 finned pillars, seconds and date. The movement strikes the hours on a single bell.
The case is constructed from pine and oak and is perfectly proportioned and typical of this early 18th century period. The beautifully lacquered case decorated with figures, horses, dogs , houses, and a mixture of flowers and leaves.
A rare survivor from this period of Clockmaking. The large majority of Chinoiserie clock cases were made slightly later and with arched dials.
Note: This clock has only very recently arrived in our Wiltshire showrooms. The case will require some sympathetic restoration and the movement will be serviced and guaranteed for 3 years.
