The clock is signed "ISAAC NICKALS. WELLS". He is recorded in Loomes "Clockmakers of the World" as working in Wells, Somerset, in 1730.
The oak case is nicely polished with a full length door and an arched hood having reeded pillars and brass Doric capitals. There are three original ball and spire finials to the top.
The very substantial 3 train movement has just been fully overhauled by our BHI registered staff and carries our usual 12mths full parts and labour guarantee.
