William Webster of London
Circa 1760
A fine George
III period London mahogany longcase clock of classic proportions by
this eminent maker - William Webster.
The richly figured mahogany
case stands on a double plinth and has a moulded trunk door.
The hood has brass capped and stoped fluted quarter columns, and has
a traditional pagoda top centred by original brass finials.
The
brass dial with silvered chapter ring has a strike/silent facility
in the arch. The centre of the dial is matted and has a subsidiary
seconds dial and aperture of the day of the month. The corners
and arch are finished with well cast, gilded rococo spandrels.
The
substantial five pillar movement is eight day duration and of high
quality as befits this maker. The hours are sounded on a bell.
