Victorian Tallcase Clock - 8 day duration
 ~ Clockmaker - John Galloway, Leeds ~

Very attractive oak case with flame mahogany and rosewood inlay. Most of the front of the case is veneered in flame mahogany with rosewood. The door and the center of the plinth are oak. Carved swan-neck pediment to the hood and bobbin-turned pillars in mahogany.

The dial is delightfully painted with hunting scenes - the master is seen in the arch following a pair of hounds with the fox disappearing into the distance. (The master could be about to land in the pond in front of him!) The spandrels are painted with individual hounds generally having fun. The original gilt brass hands add the finishing touch to the dial.

John Galloway is listed as working between 1850 and 1870 in Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World' Vol 2 by Brian Loomes. We date the clock around 1850 to 1860 based on its style.

The movement is 8 day in duration and strikes a bell on the hour. The dial is fitted with a seconds and calendar subsidiary dials - the calendar is inoperable

 Condition is very good and original. The movement has been cleaned by our clockmaker and is running and keeping good time. The case has had some minor work in the past. In common with most country clocks the back feet have been replaced because of the effects of damp, similarly the bottom quarter of the back board has been reconstructed. The work is strong and neat and does not detract from this piece. As you would expect a few pieces of veneer have been replaced and there are some minor marks - you can see in the enlarged images. The trunk door has a repair - invisible from the front - the door has been glued and clamped back together and has some brass strapping on the reverse to reinforce the repair. The repair does not detract in anyway from this piece.

This super quality clock is cast and gilded BRASS, not spelter.  Depicting a romantic Angel playing an organ, the open book at her side reads "Glory to God with Good Music".  Gorgeous Gothic motifs.  The eight day movement strikes the hours and half hours on a bell and is stamped with the makers name 'Poupin A' Paris' as is the white enamel dial.  Condition is excellent, movement is un-restored, clean and running.  There is a faint hairline to the enamel dial which does not detract.  Pendulum has been replaced with one faithful to the original.  What a lovely accent for a Tudor, Medieval or Gothic 'look'.  The finishing touch for any Angel collection.

Very pretty oak case with mahogany cross banding and boxwood stringing, swan neck pediment to the hood.  Charming painted arch dial in classic 'Adam' style.  The patrae to the swan necks are particularly interesting being sphinx.....all things 'Egyptian' were high fashion following Nelson's defeat of the French at the battle of the Nile in 1791.  The case has a lovely rich colour and patina, reeded canted corners typical of the case designs in this area.  Long Georgian door.  The 8 day movement strikes the hours on a bell and there are subsidiary seconds and date dials.  Movement has been cleaned in our own workshop and is running.   This very original clock has had little necessary work carried out.  In common with most country clocks the feet have been replaced because of the effects of damp, similarly the bottom quarter of the back board.  The case has been treated for woodworm.  All work carried out in our workshop.  We have a policy of conservation, retaining as much originality as possible, and do not 'strip and re-finish'
