Masons Antiques has dated this piece to the Georgian era.
The magnificent oak case has all the character and patination that only age can produce. It has sympathetically contrasting mahogany edging throughout, giving it an extra touch of elegance. There are quarter, reeded pillars to the corners with brass doric capitals.
The 8 day movement strikes the hours on a bell with a crisp clear tone. It has just been fully overhauled by our BHI registered staff and carries our usual 12mths full parts and labour guarantee
The arched, painted dial is in lovely condition, having painted roses to the corners and the arch and is signed with the makers name. There are subsidiary seconds and date dials.
BLAKEWAY of ALBRIGHTON is recorded in Loomes "Clockmakers of the World" as working in Albrighton between 1774-1809 where he advertised "Wheels cut for clockmakers at 6d per set and dyal plates engraved at 2s.6d. each."
A real character clock.
