• VERY FINE SIMON WILLARD FEDERAL
  VERY FINE SIMON WILLARD FEDERAL INLAID BANJO CLOCKBoston, ca. 1805, attributed to the shop of John and Thomas Seymour, with gilt finial over circular white painted dial, with Roman chapter ring, original throat and base eglomise panels with fine painting and gilding, the lower panel inscribed "S. Willard's," 33 x 10 x 3-1/2 in. Note: Accompanied by a Milly McGehee invoice with extensive notes from Robert Mussey outlining the quality and rarity of this example. McGehee notes record that Mussey "considers this clock one of the four or five finest of this early patent timepiece he has encountered. The clock retains all of its original eglomise painting on both the throat and lower case glass panels; additionally, the white painted dial numerals are original." Condition: very fine condition overall. Fragile dial paint with crackle and scattered retouch and some small losses. The McGehee invoice records that the works have had only minor typical repairs such as the replacement of bushings. The brass finial is period but probably not the original. The repairs to the case are also minor. They include: the side of the case near the latch, small holes in the bottom board where perhaps a support bracket existed at some point, a replaced door latch, repairs to the top rear of the frame of the throat glass, and two small glue blocks on the inside. The works were cleaned and oiled and other minor conservation executed by Robert Mussey. The 2 holes in the front of the movement were added by a clock repairman in order to view the functioning of the escapement. Some small screws have been added to secure the backboard to the drum head and sides.

Note: Painted examples of the form are exceptionally rare, and this lighthouse clock is further distinguished by its fine condition, surviving with its original glass dome and brass feet. The accompanying write up from Milly McGehee notes: "The painted case with iron dial and lower rectangular base places this example among a small group of Willard lighthouse clocks made prior to 1820. Simon Willard received a patent for these "patent alarm timepieces" in December of 1819. Most known examples made after that date have enamel (rather than painted) dials and are signed "Patent." Most patent examples also have un-painted mahogany cases with octagonal or circular bases. The early features of this example indicate it was made prior to the patent and circa 1818-1819." Only a handful of painted examples are known to survive. The only other painted example sold publicly that is known to us sold Sotheby’s, Jan- uary 1997 for $744,000. This example is illustrated in Albert Sack, New Fine Points of Furniture , pages 131 and 146, where it is listed as a “Masterpiece”.
