A handsome lantern clock made in the 1650s during the Civil Wars period by Robert Cosbey in Mark Lane, London. He was born about 1632, was apprenticed in 1646 under the celebrated Peter Closon and was working from about 1655 till about 1685, this being one ofhis earlier clocks. It was converted to a double-fiusee spring movement in the late nineteenth century. Only a handful of clocks are known by this maker.
