About the Item

A fine William and Mary eight-day spring-driven table clock signed on the backplate, Isaac Lowndes Pallmall Court, c.1695. The elegantly proportioned ebony-veneered oak domed top case has large rectangular viewing windows to the sides so that the movement is almost entirely visible. The front door is embellished by large pierced repoussé strips, the left one being an elaborate escutcheon. The dome is also adorned by a pierced ornament, which, together with the pierced ebony strip at the top rail of the front door functions as a sound fret. The case rests on four brass bun feet. The fine square brass dial has a matted centre and delicately ringed winding holes. There is a date aperture below and a strike/silent lever above the XII, unusually flanked by the name of the maker: Isaac Lowndes. This is matched by the engraving at the bottom of the dial: London. The dial has an applied silvered chapter ring and winged cherub-head spandrels in the corners. The chapter ring is engraved with a narrow outer minute ring within which are Arabic five-minute numerals, a central ring with Roman hours I-XII and ornate half-hour markers and an inner ring divided into quarter hours. The time is indicated by an elegant pair of pierced period blued steel hands. The striking eight-day twin fusee five pillar brass movement has a verge escapement with a short knife-suspended pendulum. The striking, which is regulated by an internal rack, indicates the hours fully on a bell. The backplate is profusely engraved in period style around a typical signature cartouche with the maker’s name: Isaac Lowndes Pallmall Court. The movement has pull-quarter repeat on three bells differing in pitch for the quarters and an additional bell for the hours. The maker Isaac Lowndes was born in Knutsford, Cheshire, in 1660. He was made free of the Clockmakers’ Company in 1682. He married Ann Wally in 1687. He took several apprentices and in 1694 lived on the south side of Pall Mall in St James’s Parish, separately from the other members of the Lowndes family, Jonathan and Charles. He was last mentioned in 1702. Literature: B. Loomes, The Clockmakers of Great Britain 1286-1700, Ashbourne, 2014, p.327. B. Loomes, Watchmakers and clockmakers of the World, London, 2006, p.495.
