UK delivery, setting-up and twelve months guarantee are included in the price of this elegant clock which has a chamfered top mahogany case just 15 inches high, excluding the finial, and it retains all of its original brass accents and fittings – a most desirable feature: original brass ball feet and cast bezel with the original deep convex glass, four recessed mahogany panels are fielded with half round brass mouldings and the front edges carry a brass beading. The sides of the case incorporate rectangular apertures covered with brass “fishscale” frets below brass ring handles mounted on embossed double cornucopia brass plates. The mahogany rear door is glazed and the surround carries the number 8987 impressed on the lower edge.The high quality fusee movement is signed and numbered in full to the substantial brass plates which are shouldered and stepped and have an engraved border. The rear plate incorporates a pendulum clamp for travelling whilst the pendulum itself incorporates a neat and ingenious method for regulation with the rating nut and scale above the engraved brass bob. The clock strikes the hours on a bell and includes a mechanism for repeating the hours at will. Duration of both going and striking trains is eight day. The time is displayed via the original brass hands to the convex painted dial which retains its original ground with Roman numerals and is signed “James McCabe, Royal Exchange, London, 8987”. A strike/silent feature is mounted just above 12 o’clock. Note:- James McCabe was born into a Belfast clockmaking family and came to London sometime during the 1770s. He was elected to the Clockmakers Company in 1786. He was working from Royal Exchange around 1804 and was succeeded by his son, also James. The business gained a reputation for fine quality clocks, watches and chronometers, and whilst not strictly a Royal clockmaker, King George III did own a watch by him.
