A fine early 19th century rosewood table clock
Vulliamy, London, No. 1435
The rectangular case surmounted with a stepped caddy top over a concave moulded pediment and rectangular glazed side panels on a plinth base with block feet, with solid rear door, the 6.75 inch silvered Roman dial with outer minute track and modern blued steel Breguet style hands, framed by a moulded brass bezel set into the panelled front door. When the front door is opened, the signature and number are revealed on the dial below VI, while a regulation arbor is visible above XII with engraved instructions 'turn to the left to go slower/to the right to go faster' and a strike/silent lever at IIII. The signed and numbered twin gut (now wire) fusee movement with substantial plates united by five tapering 'cannon barrel' pillars, with half deadbeat escapement, striking the hours on a bell, (the hammer arbor and adjustable vane both cocked on the backplante), the pendulum with an ebony facetted rod terminating in a heavy numbered bob, secured in transit by a substantial hinged locking block. Together with two case keys and two associated winding keys. Running and striking. 43cms (16 1/2ins) high (6)
