38 80 A George III mahogany eight day longcase clock Edward Bilbie, Chewstoke, circa 1765 The four-pillar rack and bell striking movement with 12 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial and calendar aperture to the basket of flowers and foliate trail engraved centre within an applied Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes, fleur-de-lys half hour markers and signed ‘Edward Bilbie, Chew Stoke’ to lower edge, the angles with foliate scroll cast spandrels, the case with swan neck pediment and fluted pilasters to hood above long shaped-top trunk door flanked by fluted canted angles, on plinth base with integral bracket feet 234cm high. This clock was made by the third member of the highly regarded Bilbie clock making dynasty to bear the name Edward. He is thought to have been brought-up and taught clockmaking by his uncle Thomas. Edward III set up business as a clockmaker and bell founder in Chew Stoke around 1745 and worked until his death in 1768. The current lot is very typical of his later work with fine engraved decoration to the dial centre, however the high-style Bristol Mahogany case is unusual suggesting that the clock was ordered by a discerning client. £1,500-2,000 www.dnfa.com/donnington
