Antique Grandfather Clock by John Smith - NORTH BRITAIN C,1790

For Wikipedia Research Only - THIS CLOCK IS NOT FOR SALE

An outstanding and very rare '8-day' musical two train mahogany Longcase clock. An eminent clockmaker from this tiny village of Pittenweem in Scotland. Note his characteristic way of signing his dials as 'NORTH BRITAIN'. I can only assume this is a one off piece of work for a very wealthy London customer. The cabinet showing all the high quality London case features. The white painted dial showing gold leaf spenadrels and flowers to the corners, subsidiary seconds and calendar and moonphase with tidal times to the arch. The tidal times are by means of an indicator and hence could be set at whatever port the owner chose. A clock by the maker is pictured in Royal Clocks by Cedric Jagger pages 190-2.

Very little is known about John Smith. Previous to 1775 it does not appear he went out of Scotland. It does appear though that the clock pictured in Royal Clocks was taken to show King George III, but unfortunately the King had gone blind and was unable to inspect it. I wonder whether it was at this stage John Smith had purchased this cabinet for one of his clocks or whether he had already ordered one for this movement and picked it up on his journey home from the capital. He clearly must have been impressed by London cabinet making at the time. This case is absolutely stunning.

EQUATION OF TIME - JOHN TOPPING C.1720

EQUATION OF TIME - JOHN TOPPING C.1720

The clock pictured here by John Topping is an extremely rare example of the 'Equation of Time' calculation on an early 18th century Longcase Clock. It is pictured here purely for research within Wikipedia and not for sale or any other commercial purposes. People can ask me questions relating to the 'Equation of Time' but the clock is not for sale.

We are all aware of the passage of time, yet we can not see it. Many inventors have tried to measure time but it was not until the invention of the pendulum that considerable increased the accuracy of clocks that the calculation of the 'Equation of Time' became very relevant to clocks. Before the advent of the long pendulum in the early days the clocks were very inaccurate and so calculating the difference between 'solar' and ' our time' would have been of little consequence.The long pendulum was first invented by Christian Huygens, a Dutch scientists in 1656. The oscillations of the pendulum reduced error to less than 1 minute per day and eventually to less than 10 seconds per day. Peter Clare, a clockmaker in the 18^th century, who worked in Manchester insisted his clocks were right and the Sun was wrong. A memorial to him reads.

“Here’s the cottage of Peter, that cunning old fox, Who kept the sun right by the time of his clocks.”

Many people might think Mr Clare’s observations foolhardy, but it would be folly to dismiss them.

The clock pictured here by a maker called John Topping of London. It is a superb month duration, walnut Longcase clock with a dial showing the ‘Equation of Time.’ With these increasingly more accurate clocks, the difference called the 'Equation of Time' became more relevant, and Mr Clare was right to some degree his clocks were more accurate than the sun.

The Equation of Time refers to the difference between the sun’s time and that shown by the clock, this varies by up to 16 minutes per day during the year. Only on four days in the year is there no difference between the sun’s time and the time shown by clocks. The days on which the clock and the sun should usually agree are the 15th of April, 15th of june, 31st of August, and the 24th of December.

Effectively Peters Clare’s clocks were more accurate than the sun, this is a result of the elliptical rotation of our planet.

The clock by Topping shown below is one of the few clocks ever made showing this calculation on a year calendar. It lets the operator know just how many minutes less or more the clocks time is from the suns time, effectively making it easy to set your clock in the 18^th century by means of a sun dial.

This clock also has the special feature of a spherical moon, showing the true shape of the moon, this is accompanied with a tidal times indicator and rise and fall of the pendulum, making for changes of seconds to the timekeeping. It is housed in a superb elegant burr walnut cabinet.

Very few clockmakers ever had the talent to make such complex clocks and only the finest clockmakers have examples to their work. These are very few and far between. Tompion I believe made 3 equation clocks,Topping as listed here made a few, Williamson, who made several equation clocks for Quarre and the maker Gregg. Clearly very few are still surviving today. The complexity of the movement is mind blowing.

UNRESTORED LONGCASE CLOCK SECTION (100 ONWARDS)

All the Longcase clocks from this point on are unrestored and can be viewed on request at our Cheshire base. All clocks need both cabinet and movement restoration and are shown as is. This is a new very informative section as it gives you an insight into what the clocks look like prior to some tender loveing care. We only use very sympathetic restoration, this takes approx 3-4 weeks. If you like one of the clocks listed in this section, let me know. If there is a clock restored similar I will also let you know and suggest this as an alternative. If this is not suitable and you prefer the unrestored example, I will put the clock in our queue to be restored. You are welcome to then see the clock once restored with absolutely no obligation.

I will use a price band to give you an idea of price at this stage. This is an approx price once restored, sometimes because of unforseen work, the clock may be pushed into a different price band, I will let you know on this as soon as this becomes evident.

Price Band A: £2,500 to £5,000 Price Band B: £5,000-£7,500 Price Band C: £7,500-£10,000 Price Band D: £10,000-£15,000 Price Band E: Over £15,000
