The Antique Clock Co. has dated this piece to the 1850s.
The dial is also engraved “Attenborough 84 Brompton Road London – This Clock Shews Greenwich Mean Time.” to the centre with original finely cut blued steel hands.
The beautiful heavy mahogany case with a long glazed trunk door and mahogany base.
Altogether a beautiful small longcase clock made to impeccable standards.
The name 'Attenborough' and the number '84' have both been engraved over a hammered area (as can be seen from the back of the dial), the Brompton Road and GMT proclamation appear to be original. It would be sensible to assume, therefore, that Attenborough bought this regulator for his own shop or workshop from one of his retiring neighbours on the Brompton Road.
Two Attenboroughs are known to have traded in London, James in 1857 and George in 1869, George took his son into partnership in 1875.
Serviced and guaranteed for 3 years.
