George III Black Lacquer Tavern Clock George III Tavern Clock Tavern %%alt5%%
A truly rare and exceptional George III period Black Lacquer Tavern Clock by Henry Overall, Ramsey.
This has an access door to the right side and a shallow concave moulded foot. The shield dial is well proportioned and the broad moulded surround projects on either side of the trunk, typical of antique clocks of this period. It retains Giltwood finials flanking the arched top.

The decoration on the trunk door depicts four figures, one seated atop a barrel, trees, flowers etc. The trunk sides are filled with floral sprays. The base is decorated with a pagoda, an arch, a figure and a duck beside a pond, trees, etc. The dial is decorated with leafy scrolls in the corners. The brass hands have heart tips with long counterpoise to the minute. The chapter rings are in a contrasting off white with both Arabic and Roman numerals in black.
The 4 wheel movement with brass plates, anchor escapement and four pillars, steel pendulum rod with brass faced bob and what may well be the original, large lead weight.

Ca. 1770

H:58.5”, 149 cms, W:31”, 79 cms, D:8.5” 21.5 cms.
