A longcase clock
walnut and burr-walnut veneered oak case with marquetry work
polished, engraved, matted, silver and gilt brass dial, month autonomy, hour striking on bell, month calendar, 0.94 semi-period pendulum
English
18th C. (1st half)
minor faults and defects, mechanism requiring maintenance
signed THOMAS WHITE LONDINI FECIT
Dim. - 220 x 31 x 24 cm
Notes: the subsidiary dial gives strong evidence that originally the clock had a 1 ¼ seconds
pendulum (roughly 59 inches long). Later alterations were made to the movement, namely to
allow for a shorter pendulum of 0.94 seconds of semi-period (roughly 37 inches long), and so
the small hand does not indicate seconds nor does it correspond to the numbering on the
original seconds ring.
