4. Table Regulator with Detent Escapement.
ref. 1573

Wheel count is: - Fusee -110
Centre -80
3rd -75
4th -60
and 'scape -10 The cascading foliage style of the plates was designed by our artist. It presented quite a challenge to the clockmaker as they had to be hand pierced from 3/16” hard brass sheet. The ebonised base is inlaid with sterling silver. The dial and barrel set up wheel are gilded. To achieve a greater accuracy in timekeeping, the pendulum rod is made from ebony.

81. Drum dial clock with 10” dial.

82. Miniature Longcased Clock in the style of 1700
ref. 1577
At times we are apt to make clocks other than skeletons - Usually on a whim by either the casemaker or Peter.
This clock, based on a known example dated 1700, is collaboration between our case maker and clockmaker.
The timber used is from old furniture, over 100 years old, and is finished with a scumbled/simulated walnut effect. The case is wall mounted on its own bracket. In line with tradition the hood is ‘slide up’ with the proper mechanism, including spoon & latch for the main door, being utilised. As a special touch the base door opens to facilitate regulation of the ‘royal’ pendulum. The movement is fusee with fine dead beat escapement. The pallets being extra narrow to give minimum amplitude.
The case is 42” high without bracket.
The train count is as follows:
Fusee 96
Centre 80 Pinion 8
3rd 75 Pinion 10
Scape 30 Pinion 9
This gives a pendulum of 31.5 inches.

Lozenge wall clock with full strike.
ref. 1591
This clock was built from an old fusee movement found at a clock fair.
The movement is dated about 1840 and has 5-spoke, regulator style, wheelwork. The original clock must have been quite magnificent.
The case was inspired by a clock shown in Ron Rose's latest dial clock book and made by our case maker. The dial is 8-inch and the movement is such a snug fit - the bell and pallets have to be fitted after the movement is fitted into the case. Circular, fish scale, sound frets are fitted to both sides. Pendulum adjustment is through a door at the back.
