Lot Description

A good 18th century brass winged lantern clock with alarm by S. Tompson, London. Having a 6.25" Roman dial inscribed as above, with inner single-hand track and cruciform half-hour divisions, framing engraved foliage and central Arabic alarm dial, the verge-and-crownwheel escapement with outside countwheel strike, flanking an anchor pendulum, the case having a strapped bell surmount with internal double-headed hammer, between urn finials and addorsed dolphin crestings, the 'gun barrel' pillars framing pinned side doors each with scroll-topped box wings with open front allowing full and visible pendulum swing, raised on ball feet, steel rods to the rear for wall mounting, 14.5", (37cm) high.

Postage: Auction Default

Weight: No

Total lot weight: No

Dial - general superficial scratching and light tarnishing. Light wear to wax numerals.

Movement - shows no obvious signs of alterations internally, but could have had a full-depth verge rod with pendulum running down back of case rather than internally - this would mean that the wings were added. Case appears otherwise basically sound. Inspection in person is recommended.


Fellows do not guarantee the working order or accuracy of any clocks sold.
