Very Small Hooded Wall Clock with Silvered Dial.
A much smaller than usual and pretty clock with a long pendulum.
The 30 hour duration, rope driven posted movement with a long pendulum and Anchor recoil escapement. Also having a rope driven Alarum that sounds on a top-mounted bell.
Behind a 5" wide break arch silvered and engraved dial. The chapter having an outer ring, Roman hour numerals and inner divided minute track with half hour diamonds. The corners and the arch have floral design engraving encompassing the bordered maker's name cartouche bearing "G.(eorge) Buckmaster, ROYSTON" underlined with scrolls. The centre tabbed alarum disc has outer Arabic hour numerals and an inner divided track. The tailed blued steel hand is ornate and pierced.
Contained in an attractive solid mahogany case with a large elaborated moulding to the flat top, a plain sliding hood with a break-arch glazed aperture to the front and shaped bracket sides to the carcase. It also has a full-length backboard.
George Buckmaster is recorded as working circa 1828 - 1840 and Brian Loomes suggests that his widow continued to run the business until circa 1866.
Although it is circa 1866, its style suggests earlier.
This item has been purchased privately by us and it is new to the market.

Date 1830
Early 19th Century Antiques Material Mahogany
Origin English
Condition It is dirty and worn but in good working condition and keeping time however, the movement is now lacking its verge Alarum arbor, bell-stand and bell BUT the crown wheel winding and operating sprocket, lifting and release piece, verge brackets and under-dial operating spring remain. The 2 dial feet probably snapped off during a fall and have been replaced with screws.
The dial is very good with minor bruising above the 1 hour numeral and some loss of wax to the circles.
The case is excellent for its age and usage and is of good colour, patina and retains its original French polish.
The price is for the clock in its present condition making it very competitively priced due to its small size. A price and timescale for any work required by the purchaser such as rebuilding the Alarum work can be supplied upon enquiry.
