The Chartwell Grandfather Clock, by Comitti

A superb example of the clock made by the London maker Joseph Knibb (1640-1711) with a triple chime movement. The walnut case is decorated with burr walnut veneers and fine marquetry panels.

The marquetry depicts birds and flower motifs popular in cabinet work of the William and Mary period. The hood is decorated with barley twist pillars and hand cut fretwork. The solid brass dial has cherub spandrels, silver plated chapter ring and blue lacquered period hands. The marquetry panels are created using boxwood, pear wood, walnut, satinwood and black-dyed sycamore. The cabinet has a hand rubbed waxed finish.
