John Knibb, Oxford. Now contained in a floor standing case The 6.5inch square brass dial with wide engraved wheatear border framing winged cherubs head spandrels and the silvered Roman and Arabic chapter ring, signed along the lower edge 'Iohannes Knibb Oxon Fecit', the centre finely matted and with blued steel hands, secured to the weight driven movement via four horizontal lugs pinned into the brass top and bottom plates which are themselves 'keyed' into the corners of the brass pillars cast with typical integral waisted finials and collet-like feet, the going train with verge escapement and short bob pendulum set on a knife edge in the bent brass back cock, the strike train with outside solid countwheel striking on the bell mounted on a stand above, the hammer- and striking-detent arbors of circular section and the heavy fly of solid brass. Now contained in an associated miniature floor-standing walnut veneered case, the hood with spiral columns over a long door on a panel base inlaid with shaped panels. The mask set with an applied handwritten dated paper '1670' and another label to the door interior '53' - possibly a collectors inventory number? The dial 16.2cms (6 3/8ths of an inch) square. The dial 8.3cms (3 5/16ths of an inch) square. The case 1.77m (5ft 7in) high.
