A good mid 19th century mahogany floorstanding regulator

Joseph Lucas, London
The shallow arched cornice over fluted canted front corners and a long glazed door revealing the glass jar pendulum (now filled with lead shot) and silvered beat scale, over a panelled base and double apron, the shaped 11 inch signed silvered dial with Arabic minute band enclosing subsidiaries for running seconds and Roman hours, the weight driven movement with shouldered plates united by five substantial knopped pillars, the deadbeat escapement with maintaining power to the jewelled pallets and a hinged crutch 2m (6ft 6.5ins) high.

Footnotes
