Description
A fine and very rare mid 18th century grande sonnerie striking ebony table clock with alarm and trip repeat
Conyers Dunlop, London
The stepped caddy top framed by four facetted finials over a deep cornice set with brass panels over freestanding reeded Doric columns, side handles and pierced wooden sound frets backed in green silk, on a stepped brass-bound plinth on brass block feet. The 7.5inch arched brass dial signed on a silvered plaque flanked by subsidiaries for rise-and-fall regulation and Strike/Silent over a silvered Roman and Arabic chapter ring with floating fleur de lys half-hour markers, the very finely matted centre with large mock pendulum aperture, chamfered date aperture and alarm-setting disc (the alarm wound via a small arbor between XII and I). The substantial movement with triple gut fusees to a pivotted verge escapement, striking the hours on a large bell and each quarter on a run of six bells, the alarm sounded on the larger bell via a double-headed hammer, the engraved backplate centred by the standing figure of Diana the Huntress, bare-breasted holding a spear, bow, and arrows over a female mask, with original pendulum sprung holdfast. Together with a bespoke wall bracket. Ticking, striking and trip repeating. 56cms (22ins) high
