A VERY RARE MID 18TH CENTURY PARQUETRY INLAID OAK GRAND SONNERIE LONGCASE CLOCK BY JOHN SEDDON OF FRODSHAM, CIRCA 1740
the break-arch oak case with ogee and cavetto mouldings over a curved frieze fret and with fluted hood columns and windows to the sides of the hood, over the trunk door of bridge-top design inlaid with a parquetry star, replicated in the trunk's base panel, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and a decorated scroll-engraved and pierced panel around the calendar aperture also signed "Seddon", the dial centre and the centre of the lunar indicating ring in the arch both decorated with black velvet, the chapter ring with Roman numerals for the hours and Arabic for the minutes in a "Dutch" arcaded band, with pierced, blued steel hands, the pierced spandrels set between a herringbone [wheatear] engraved border which continues into the arch, the arch with a penny-moon aperture whose ring is calibrated for the moon's age and fitted with a brass indicating hand, the substantial five-pillar movement with three trains and bell strike movement, the going train regulated by seconds pendulum and the quarter train sounding on a nest of six bells with six hammers before unlocking the hour strike on its own bell, each quarter hour,
220cm high
There are church records for the Seddon family in Frodsham Cheshire, starting in 1676. John and Daniel Seddon both made good and complex clocks there throughout the early 18th century.
A two-train longcase similarly signed "Seddon" and with very similar inlaid case was sold at auction in Berkshire in 2011 for £13000 hammer. That clock possessed a globe moon in the arch. This lot is considerably rarer in having the three-train grande sonnerie movement; only a handful of longcase clocks are known to have this complication, together with the moonphase this clock is a very rare and fine example of a complicated longcase clock. That both Seddon clocks feature very similar cases is surely a good indication that the dial, movement and case are all original to each other.
