Masons Antiques has dated this piece to the Regency era.
Tavern clocks are quite rare and difficult to find. They are much sought after.
This is a superb example with every feature one would look for in a top class clock.
Shaped and tapered lead weights with full length pendulum.
A convex white painted dial with black Roman numerals and superb cut hands. It is signed with the makers name "F.FLETCHER. SHREWSBURY"
A cast brass bezel with convex glass.
The beautifully polished case with full length, Georgian style, key lockable door, is made from the very finest flame mahogany. It has a beautiful, age related, deep rich patina with chisel base.
An utterly original clock and one of the finest quality clocks I have seen in a long time. It is one that would adorn any worthy household.
