This is a very nice early longcase clock dating from around 1710-1720.
It has an 8-day movement with brass face, housed in a medium-oak cabinet.
The 12” brass dial has a matted centre, ringed winding squares, a working date aperture and seconds ring. The chapter ring is silvered, as is the seconds dial. The mask spandrels are in a three tier engraved border.
The movement appears to be original, is in good clean condition and keeps good time.
The flat topped hood has wooden columns with brass cappings.
The case is in good condition, having crossbanding and pilasters. The door has a working lock and key.
John Simcock was working in Daventry at the turn of the 17th century. He may have been related to Henry Simcock who moved to Daventry in 1690. One of Henry Simcock’s clocks is on display in the Daventry Museum.
