Magnificent 18th Century Striking Dutch Amsterdam Burl Walnut Longcase Clock

About the Item

An impressive Dutch longcase clock with a burr walnut veneered oak case, signed on the chapter ring Pieter Brandt Amsterdam, c. 1745-50. The hood of this clock has a broken arch top pediment with very fine elaborate fretwork functioning as sound frets, as well as a prominent asymmetrically carved ornament. It is surmounted by three very fine gilt wooden statuettes depicting an Chronos figure flanked by two Mars figures. The shaped door in the trunk is embellished by rosewood inlays and has a lenticle with a classic brass surround in the shape of the goddess Europa on her bull, through which the movement of the pendulum can be seen. The impressive base is fortified by buttress-like corners and rests on ball feet. The superb arched brass dial has a silvered Roman and Arabic chapter ring, a subsidiary seconds ring above the middle and a date aperture above the VI. Left and right of the middle are a month aperture showing the month, a symbolic representation of the month and the number of days in the month, as well as a day aperture showing the day of the week and a symbolic representation of the day. The phases of the moon are shown in the arch, as well as the time of high water in Amsterdam, which was important to the tradesmen in the 18th century. The time is indicated by a pair of blued steel hands on the silvered chapter ring, which is surrounded by gilt cast brass spandrels in the corners depicting the four seasons. The weight-driven eight-day movement consists of going and striking rains, as well as an alarm. The going train has anchor escapement and a seconds pendulum. The quarter striking train indicates the hours and half hours fully on two bells differing in pitch (Dutch striking) and the quarters with one stroke. It is regulated by a rack mechanism and can be repeated at will by pulling a cord behind the door. The weight-driven alarm is set by a silvered disc behind the hands, the tail of the hour hand indicating the alarm time. Measures: Overall height 2.85 m. (9 ft 3 inch) The maker Pieter Brandt was from a family of clockmakers and was active as a clockmaker from c.1740-1785. Not much is known about him, but it is abundantly clear from his work that he was an excellent maker.

The 10.5ft 18th Century George I Bur/Burl Walnut Month Longcase Clock by

By James Markwick

Located in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom

This is, without doubt, the largest and most impressive English longcase/grandfather clock we have ever encountered, standing at three meters twenty (10.5ft/321cm) and it is quite possibly the largest from the entire 18th century. The golden age. As you might expect, no expense was spared when this clock was commissioned circa 1710-1720, using only the very finest cuts of burr/burl walnut to adorn the case and cross-grain mouldings throughout, leading up to the sensational month going, quarter chiming movement by James Markwick, London. Once wound, the clock will run for one month, chiming the quarters on six bells...

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.

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.
