A Late Georgian Musical Table Clock
By Thomas Roskell
The well patinated carved mahogany case has a fluted and foliate carved pagoda top surmounted by an urn finial. The front angles have protruding Corinthian columns, and the sides have hinged rectangular doors with pierced trellis frets. The case is raised on a stepped plinth base over scrolling foliate feet. The pointed arch, gilt brass dial mask is finely engraved with scrolling foliage, and the white enameled dial has Roman numerals, signed 'THOMAS ROSKELL'. It is operated by a triple chain fusee movement chiming the quarters on a nest of eight bells and the hours on a coiled steel gong applied to the back door, with anchor escapement and pendulum.
Circa 1825
Brian Loomes' 'Watch and Clockmakers of the World' (NAG Press 2006) lists Thomas Roskell as a London based clockmaker, born circa 1790.
