A rare first half of the 18th century burr walnut quarter repeating table timepiece
Wattson, London (sic)
The inverted bell top case surmounted by a handle over an intricately moulded cornice and tall arched glazed side windows on a moulded plinth on block feet.
The 7 inch brass dial with shouldered arch set with a subsidiary date ring marked 1-9 consecutively, then 11-31 with odd numbers only, flanked by the signature and foliate engraving, four winged cherub head spandrels frame the silvered Roman and Arabic chapter ring with lozenge half-quarter marks and meeting-arrowhead half hour markers, the finely matted centre with engraved chamfered mock pendulum aperture. The single gut fusee movement united by six knopped pillars, knife edge verge escapement, the pull repeat sounding the hours on a (replaced) bell and the quarters on a run of six bells and hammers. The backplate signed in a leafy cartouche framed by symmetrical interlaced foliate scrolls. 47cms (18.5ins) high
