Masons Antiques has dated this piece to the 1750s.
A rare 11" square brass dial with engraved black Roman numerals and inter-spaced Fluer-de-lis.
It has both an inner and outer minute ring with Arabic 5min. markers to the outside.
The walnut case, although authentic in every detail, is possibly of a later date. It has a blind fretwork panel below the flat top hood with superb spiral columns to the sides and quarter matching columns to the rear. Site glasses to the sides of the hood allow the movement to be seen in motion. A full length door leads down to a square base over a double plinth. Superbly polished with a stunning patina.
John Boot Junior is recorded as working in Sutton-in-Ashfield in the first half of the 18thC.
