Good Walnut Longcase Edward Stanton
Description
A superb burr walnut and walnut longcase clock with 10in. brass and silvered dial engraved Edward Stanton London. The later case is a bespoke 20th century cabinet in the finest burr walnut which has a wonderful colour and delightful patina and is in excellent condition throughout and is raised on solid walnut bun feet in the William & Mary style. The dial has decorative pierced brass spandrels with two cherubs holding a crown aloft and a silvered roman chapter ring. This has a matted centre with ringed winding holes and subsidiary seconds dial and date aperture. The face is flanked by barley twist columns to the door with a handsome carved crest above with swan neck, central shell, flower head and leaf frieze surmounted by a water gilded ball finial. The two train movement has an anchor escapement that runs beautifully keeping good time. This strikes on a bell on the hour every hour striking only once at twelve o’clock. The figured burr line inlaid waist door has a lenticule panel for viewing the pendulum in motion and the base is raised on pretty, petite bun feet. This has a working lock and key with good quality brass weights and brass covered pendulum.
The hood is glazed to the sides to allow viewing of the movement.
The clock has very nice neat proportions measuring 209cms high 37 cms wide by 23 cms deep.
