Clockwise has dated this Regency Drop Dial Clock to the Regency era.
It comes complete with its original pendulum and two keys for both the working bezel lock and the working trunk lock. The slightly convex twelve inch painted dial is in stunning condition and adorned with the maker 'Hurst, Lambeth Walk'. Restored to a high standard the dial is complimented by original moon hands beneath the original cast brass bezel and convex glass.
The case is a standard two-piece design with the narrow surround, typical of the period, attaching to the back box via four lovely matching wooden pegs. Adorned with fan ears the flame mahogany veneered trunk has brass inlay to the pendulum viewing window area and also the lower curved area which houses the beaded locking door complete with key. The viewing window with brass frame completes the stunning appearance. There is an access door to the right flank of the clock.
William J. Hurst was listed as a watchmaker at 9 Lambeth Walk in London up until the 1840s, specifically appearing in commercial directories around 1843. He operated during a period when Lambeth Walk was a bustling street in the Lambeth area.
