Outstanding lantern clock made in the 1650s by the celebrated Thomas Knifton of London (working from 1640 - died 1667), re-instated balance wheel regulation, pictured before restoration. This clock is engraved with the names of the first owners, George and Elizabeth Watte, a feature which is exceptionally rare in a lantern clock. It was probably presented as a wedding gift. SOLD. |
