A rare late 18th century figured mahogany longcase clock with high tide and calendar indication
Kenyon, Liverpool
The swan neck pediment with carved floral terminals over freestanding reeded columns to the front and rear, the shaped door with book-matched veneers framed by a walnut border, flanked by quarter columns over a base with applied panel and canted corners to the stepped base with carved ogee bracket feet.
The 13 inch arched brass dial with painted rolling moonphase over engraved planets, the Roman and Arabic chapter ring with floating lozenge half hour markers framing the finely matted centre with burnished foliate scrolls emanating from the root of a triangular aperture revealing one of the Deities of the days (Luna, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Apollo) painted in colours, under elaborate steel hands; the uppermost corners set with a silvered subsidiary dial giving date of the month (marked in Roman numerals) and high tide indicator. The twin weight driven movement united by four knopped pillars and smooth barrels, anchor escapement and internal count wheel striking on a large bell marked G. Ainsworth WarrN.
