McCabe Jewelled Regulator Longcase Clock
A very fine Victorian carved oak longcase regulator timepiece by James McCabe, London, second half of the century The massive eight-day six double-screwed baluster pillar movement with thick chamfer-top plates measuring 10 by 7.75 inches enclosing wheel train with high pinion count, six-spoke wheel crossings, jewelled endstones for the pallet and escapewheel arbors and screw depth adjustment for all other pivots terminating at the plates, with Harrison s maintaining power and deadbeat escapement incorporating jewelled pallets regulated by mercury jar compensated pendulum with fine beat adjustment to crutch, the 11.75 inch circular silvered brass dial with subsidiary seconds over Roman numeral hour dial and signed James McCabe, Royal Exchange, London to centre within outer minute track and canted silvered bezel, the movement and dial supported on a substantial steel bracket screwed to the case backboard and incorporating wide-jaw pendulum suspension, the carved case with waisted drum-shaped hood applied with raised half-round moulding to front interrupted by floral motifs to the lower angles, the throat with elaborate leafy scroll carved decoration over concave-topped rectangular glazed trunk door enclosing pendulum beat scale to the backboard and flanked by tiered scroll applied canted angles, the base with complex top mouldings incorporating leafy apron to front over panel infill flanked by projecting canted angles, on stepped moulded skirt base applied with further foliate decoration to front, 195cm (76.5ins) high. . James McCabe senior is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as a 'very fine maker' who worked from Cheapside and Royal Exchange, London 1778-1811. The business was continued under his name by his sons including James junior who was apprenticed to Reid and Auld in Edinburgh, and Robert Jeremy who ran the business up until its closure in 1883. The movement of this antique clock is of the finest quality with very heavy gauge plates and massively engineered cocks for the motionwork. Refinements such as high pinion count, six spoke wheel crossings, jewelled pallets and pivots for the escape wheel and pallet arbor as well as screw end-float adjustment for other pivots are indicative of a movement built to observatory standards
