About the Item

Antique George III grandfather clock from Newton Abbot England (Newton Abbot) Mahogany circa 1790 Dimensions: H x W x D: 207 x 50 x 27 cm Description: A case made of solid, calmly grained mahogany wood in the typical George III style from the late 18th century, standing on a plinth. The lower part of the case is the same width as the head, the single-door centre section is slightly recessed, giving the grandfather clock its slender appearance. Supported by four half-columns, the case ends at the top with a discreetly projecting cornice profile, a stepped structure and a spherical crown. Protected behind glass, we see a silver-plated chapter ring with Roman hours and Arabic minutes on an angular brass plate. The fire-gilt corner spandrels with C-sweeps and rocailles are still very much in keeping with the taste of the mid-18th century. Please refer to the following specialist literature: John Robey - The Longcase Clock Reference Book Vol. 2 Fig. 19.325. In the centre of the dial we see an auxiliary dial for the seconds at the top, a small window for the date at the bottom and the clockmaker's signature surrounded by finely engraved water fountains: James Pike - Newton Abbot. The beautiful quality of the engravings can best be seen in the attached video. The Pike family of clockmakers worked for several generations in the region around Exeter and ran workshops in North Tawton, Totnes, Wiveliscombe and Newton Abbot, among other places. The clock on offer here has a weight-driven pendulum movement with a running time of one week and an hour strike on a bell. Condition: The movement has been completely dismantled and cleaned from the ground up, revised and readjusted. The case has been restored and polished with shellac. The signature is itemised in the following clockmaker directory: Brian Loomes - Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World p.615 A similar clock, also signed by James Pike, can be found in the specialised literature: Derek Roberts - Die Englische Standuhr p.160
