A bequest from\na Norfolk collector, it now stands in the former State Dressing Room at Lyme,\nwhich houses forty-nine horological items. The month duration clock is\nunnumbered, therefore thought to predate 1682. The magnificent marquetry case,\nin all probability the work of Jasper Bream, with rising hood has retained much\nof its colour and cresting. Duncan will briefly describe other clocks at Lyme\nby the same maker. He wants to draw our attention to comparisons of the \u2018new\u2019\nclock with one of similar appearance at Powys Castle, pointing out differences\non the execution of work to the Barrels, Motion work, Pallets and maintaining\npower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DG_2-255x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2529\" width=\"165\" height=\"663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DG_2-255x1024.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DG_2-75x300.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.slbbhi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/DG_2.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 165px) 100vw, 165px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With further interesting illustrations of the work by this\nmaker Duncan hopes to draw to our attention to the fact that we all make mistakes\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2nd January 2020 A Comparison of Early Tompions.
