Grandmother clock with Rocking Ship Dial
A delightful small longcase clock, standing only 166cms high, with a rocking ship automaton in the arch of the dial.
The antique clock dates from around the turn of the 1900s, a time when short longcase antique clocks were made in small numbers. The mahogany case has an elegant swan-neck pediment and brass-capped Corinthian columns to the hood. The slim trunk and base have reeded canted corners, with a very nice ogee moulding separating the two case parts.
The 8″ brass dial has an engraved centre, a silvered chapter ring with Roman hours and Arabic minute numerals, and brass cherub-head spandrels to the corners. The arch is painted with a seascape and a separate painted ship, attached to the pendulum, rocks to and fro through the waves in time with the beat of the antique clock.
The eight-day weight driven movement strikes has an anchor escapement, striking the hours on a bell. It is to be overhauled and guaranteed for 3 years.
Height: 166cm (5 feet, 4inches) We are proud to be one of the UK’s finest suppliers of high quality Antique Clocks. We are based in Somerset, but also serve the rest of the UK. We are also delighted to have a number of overseas customers.
The workshops have recently relocated to Somerset and we continue to stock a large range of antique clocks and new clocks at very competitive prices.
We are proud to be members of LAPADA, the Association of Art and Antique Dealers.
Carlton Clocks is also a business partner of the British Horological Institute.
Ian has years of experience in restoring and maintaining clocks. He has a particular interest in early electric clocks. You will see from our Electric Clocks catalogue that we also manufacture and supply a small range of parts for Bulle, Eureka and Brillie electric clocks.
The mix of other clocks for sale is limited only by what Ian finds interesting and/or beautiful, aesthetically or mechanically.
