James Tregent, Watchmaker to the Prince of Wales

NEW ARRIVAL

A fine London longcase clock by this noted maker. 

The movement is of 8 day duration, featuring 5 plate pillars and strikes the hour on a single bell. The bell can also be silenced as required. The silvered brass dial displays seconds, date Roman and Arabic numerals. The time is displayed via matching blued steel hands.

The elegant case design was used by several Clockmakers at this period but most notably by John Holmes. There are also similarities to the case as used by Mudge and Dutton. 

The case features some excellently chosen flame mahogany veneers, brass inlaid canted corners to the hood and a broken arch top. The base has a raised panel and a shaped double plinth. There are also original wooden sound frets to each side of the hood.

A very desirable longcase clock.

NOTE: Having only just arrived this clock will require some sympathetic restoration to the case and the the movement will be serviced and guaranteed for 3 years.
