Lot Description

A good late 18th century inlaid oak-cased 8-day longcase clock.
(William?) Hambly, Falmouth, (c.1785-1795)
The 12-inch break-arched silvered dial with Roman hours and Arabic minutes framing subsidiary seconds dial, banner engraved HAMBLY FALMOUTH' and terrestrial calendar ring, the arch with Strike/Silent ring, the knopped five-pillar movement rack-striking on a bell, the case with stepped moulded break-arched cornice over turned columns and profusely inlaid trunk, having satinwood and ebony stringing, star and sunburst motifs, over conforming base, 82.5", (209.5cm) high.
Literature: See Loomes, Brian, 'Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World - 21st Century Edition', where listed;
"Hambly, William. London late 18c. (One such (Hambly) at Falmouth 1784-95, may be same man?)". Given the five-pillar movement to this clock, more typical of London makers, this seems likely.
