An 18th Century 8 Day Green Chinoiserie/lacquer Longcase by James Bush of London. Circa 1740. (Long Case)

18th century
Description

The eight day duration, five pillar movement with Anchor Recoil escapement and still having its original date wheels, behind a 12" break-arch brass dial with dolphin arch spandrels and elaborate urn spandrels. The arch having a silvered, circular makers plate signed James Bush of London.

The main silver chapter ring has large, outer Arabic fives, minute track and inner Roman hour numerals. Also having silvered subsidiary seconds ring and lower calendar date aperture.

The pierced steel hands are of serpentine design.

Contained in a green lacquered, oak case with a flat top having superior artwork particularly to the full length break-arch trunk door.

Bush was apprenticed in 1720 and in the Clockmaker's Company 1729-1770.

This is a lovely clock, superb in appearance.

The price is for the clock in its present working condition. It would however benefit from an overhaul to the movement and restoration to the dial. Any restoration work required will be subject to a further cost and waiting time, which can be discussed upon enquiry.

The purchased item can be collected at a time mutually agreed, or if required, delivery can be arranged, for which we are happy to provide a quotation for.
