A very fine and small second quarter of the 18th century brass-bound ebonised quarter repeating table clock

James Snelling, London
The inverted bell top with carrying handle and brass inserts, over glazed sides and a moulded base on pad feet. The 5-inch arched brass dial signed James Snelling, London in a shaped silvered plaque above the date aperture, framed by silvered subsidiary rings for strike/silent and rise-and-fall pendulum regulation, the Roman and Arabic chapter ring with floating lozenge half hour markers, the finely matted centre with curved mock pendulum aperture and blued steel hands. The twin gut fusee movement united by five knopped pillars, with pivoted verge escapement to a pendulum with lenticular bob and rise-and-fall regulation, the striking train with rack striking on a bell, and repeating the quarters on a run of six bells and hammers, the backplate with a single line border framing a symmetrical pattern of foliate scrolls centred by a winged cherub's head

31cms (12.5ins) high.
