Quiet Street Antiques of Bath has dated this piece to the 1750s.
The 8-day movement retains its original verge escapement, striking hours on a bell, with pull repeat for the quarters on a further SIX bells. The dial is superb, with mock pendulum; date aperture and subsidiary dials for "Strike/Silent" and an "Up-and-Down" dial for pendulum adjustment.
It is signed both to the dial and to the beautifully engraved backplate, and is original throughout. About 18ins high excluding the handle.
Charles Burges is recorded working in London circa 1765: see Baillie page 46.
