About the Item
IRISH TALL-CASE CLOCK BY WILLIAM HERON
Late 18th Century
Mahogany case, the bonnet with a scrolled broken arch pediment and the trunk with quarter columns. Rocking ship movement in lunette. Dial marked "William Heron Newtown-Ards". Works original to case and are being cleaned by our clock man and are fully functioning.
Notes: "Rocking Ship" clock mechanisms employ a simple yet charming automaton. The painted ship rocks on the waves with every swing of the pendulum giving the tall case clock a wonderful presence, highly sought after by clock collectors and those who love the ocean.
William Heron was active in Newtownards in the North of Ireland from 1778-1795. He later took up shop in Liverpool between 1795 and 1800.
