About the Item

This stylish desk clock made in the last quarter of the 19th century has a french eight day movement with a lever platform escapement. the movement is housed in a drum forming the centre of a ships wheel, the drum and back cap are nickel plated, supported on a gilded rope bound capstan the rest of the wheel is gilded, the clock is completed with a gilded anchor all set on a rouge marble base with bull nose gilded edging. The immaculate white enamel roman dial is signed P.G. Wilson, Inverness almost certainly Peter George Wilson a prominent jewel and clock retailer of the 19th century. Peter George Wilson, born on the 2nd April 1843 at New Keith, Banff-shire. He served an apprenticeship to his father, also Peter Wilson, in c.1856. In business on his own account at 100, Church Street, Inverness c.1865 and moved later that same year to 8, Union Street. According to Aberdeen Archive, Museums and Gallery, “As a maker of Highland jewellery he was in the right place at the right time. In 1866 Baron Rothschild and his party were passing through Inverness and purchased several pieces from Wilson. These pieces were noted by the Prince and Princess of Wales and in 1867 Wilson was summoned to Balmoral and was favoured with large orders from the Queen and many of the Royal Family. It was an association that was to last several years and in 1868 he was granted the Royal Warrant.” The case style and base is reminiscent the industrial series of clocks made in France by Guilmet and although unsigned could well be made by the Guilmet factory for such a prominent retailer.
