About the Item

A wonderful late seventeenth century rising hood 10-inch William and Mary eight-day floral marquetry olive oyster longcase clock by Edmund Appley, London, c. 1680-1685. The attractive and fine olive oyster-veneered case is of the highest quality and decorated throughout in floral and leaf marquetry depicting spring flowers, a bird and scrolling foliage, each on a ground of ebony within a panel bordered with boxwood. The trunk door reflects the ebonised mouldings and pillars on the hood and is bordered by an ebonised D-moulding with a circular lenticle set within an ebonised moulding. The rising hood is decorated with fine scrolling blind fretwork and cavetto moulding, flanked by tapering ebonised barley-twist columns. Large linear viewing windows of glass sit to each side of the hood. The cross-banded sides have been carefully thought out too, with small sections of saw-cut olive oyster veneer, each carefully book-matched. Raised on four ebonised bun feet. The whole case is of extremely good colour and has the most lovely age-patinated surfaces. The eight-day five pillar movement has going and striking trains. The striking train is regulated by an inside countwheel (the detent mounted externally and engaging through a slot in the backplate). The going train has anchor escapement with bolt and shutter maintaining power and a seconds pendulum. The backplate is mounted with a brass L-shaped bracket located against a conforming iron bracket set into the backboard. The 10-inch brass dial has a solid silver chapter ring, seconds ring and date aperture. A wonderful sign of quality. The silver chapter ring is divided into Roman hour numerals as well as quarter-hour, fleur-de-lys half-hour, Arabic five-minute and minute divisions. It is surrounded by solid silver winged cherub-head spandrels in the corners and is signed along the bottom of the brass plate "Edmund Appley Charing Cross". The centre is finely matted, showing the shutters in a closed position, whilst the time is indicated by a fine pair of richly pierced period blued-steel hands. The maker Edmund Appley was born the son of Humphrey Appley, a weaver, in 1656. He was apprenticed to Jeffrey Bayley in 1670 and made free in London in 1677. From 1681 he took apprentices himself, working in Charing Cross. He died on a visit to Edinburgh in 1688 and was buried there. Longcase clocks, bracket clocks and lantern clocks by his hand are known. Height 198 cm with a height of 225 cm with the hood raised to wind.

17th Century Charles II Month Going Marquetry Longcase Clock by John Wise

Located in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom

A superb Charles II month duration floral marquetry longcase clock by the well-known maker John Wise, c. 1680-85. Measure: 10". The case is of the highest quality and decorated throughout in very attractive floral marquetry depicting spring flowers and birds showing a high level of sophistication with a glazed circular lenticle to the door. Similarly, the rising hood is decorated with blind frets around the top and surmounted by a shallow caddy decorated by five gilt wooden ball finials. It is flanked by prominent gilt brass-capped solid barley twist columns, with blind fretted panels to the sides. The month-going nicely finned and knopped five pillar movement has reversed going and striking trains, the striking train (on the right) being regulated by a small outside countwheel. The going train has anchor escapement and a seconds pendulum. The movement is fronted by a 10-inch brass dial with an unusual narrow silvered chapter ring, seconds ring and date aperture. It has elaborate cherub-head spandrels in the corners and is signed along the bottom John Wise Londini Fecit. The middle is finely matted, whilst the time is indicated by a fine pair of blued-steel hands, the hour hand richly pierced. The maker John Wise was born in Banbury shortly before 17 March 1624, the date of his baptism. He was the son of John and Ann Wise and a cousin of Joseph Knibb...
