107 An early third period large brass lantern clock The movement and frame attributed to the Fromanteel workshop, circa 1660, the dial later The two train posted movement with heavily tapered arbors, double-cut hoop wheel, iron countwheel and conversion to anchor escapement with long pendulum and later motion work for two handed notation, the frame with ball feet, well-turned Doric corner columns and distinctive vase finials with four-stage graduated knopped caps, the current dial bearing signature Gibbon, London to the rose and tulip engraved centre within an applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with baton half hour markers, with later bell-bearer, foliate scroll cast and pierced frets, brass backplate and side doors, 44cm high, with an oak wall bracket, pendulum and weights. For examples by the Fromanteel family with comparable frame castings see White, George English Lantern Clocks figures III/22 (page 137), III/64 (page 155), IV/26 (page 175) and IV/59-61 (page 189). On page 148 White comments ‘Fromanteel’s large frames were exclusive to his workshop’. This large lantern clock retains many early features such as separately wound trains, heavily tapered arbors and iron countwheel, however evidence in the central bar of the movement and top plate indicates that this clock was originally made with verge escapement and short pendulum. £2,000-3,000 01635 553553 59
