Here we are showing a rather special clock by an eminent maker. The 10inch dial keeps the whole clock to a relatively small size. The maker, John Ebsworth of Londoni Fecit (London) would have made this clock circa 1680. The case is decorated in fine marquetry and has ''barley twist'' columns to the hood. The full brass dial showing gilded cherub head spandrels to each corner, a finely matted center with bolt and shutter maintaining power, calendar and blued steel hands. The makers name engraved at the bottom of the dial, just below the six. Interestingly this clock features on the cover of a book published in 1969 called Investment in Antiques & Art. The book also shows this clock on plate 29 inside the book. A copy of the book will be supplied with the clock, of course. This clock really should be viewed in our shop to fully appreciate the small proportions and the truly wonderful glow.
