Circa 1845, the case in the manner of Thomas Cole and engraved with foliage against a hatched ground, with loop suspension to the top and swivel stand to the base, with spring-loaded folding easel support to the rear, the silvered dial profusely engraved with foliate scrolls on a hatched ground, signed on the reserve to the back plate HUNT & ROSKELL LONDON, blued steel fleur-de-lys hands, with manually adjustable calendar below, the single barrel movement with vertically positioned steel three-arm lever balance.
6 1/8 in. high.
Note: The present clock is almost certainly the work of Thomas Cole but as it does not have his serial numbers punched on the case it cannot be fully attributed to him. Hunt and Roskell was established in 1844. According to J.B. Hawkins op. cit, early strut clocks with the Hunt & Roskell address did not have Cole's serial numbers on them. They can therefore be no earlier than the dissolution of the partnership between Mortimer and Hunt (predecessor to Hunt and Roskell) in December 1843 and no later than 1849. See J.B. Hawkins, Thomas Cole and Victorian Clock Making, Sydney, 1975, pp.23-26.
