Georgian Longcase Clock Chinese Decorated Smythes London Bolt and Shutter

18th century
Description

A fine quality Georgian London longcase clock with a bolt and shutter, 6-pillar mechanism. A Chionoiserie lacquered dark green/black case with detailed Chinese scenes to the case. An arched pediment flanked by a pair of original giltwood finials. Glass side hood apertures and gilded front column capitals. An arched silvered dial with fine engraving with date and seconds dials. A pull lever for the bolt and shutter maintaining power. A finely engineered 6 pillar mechanism striking the hours on a bell with outside countwheel.

There are two Smythes of London listed in Loomes' 'Watchmakers and Clockmakers of The World' book. The London made case is slightly earlier than the dial and mechanism. A rare oppoutunity to buy a fine mechanism like this at this price.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
