Clocks

71

Thomas Moore Ipswich c1750 astronomical astrological calendar tall clock with anchor escapement and stones in star map. These stones are of three sizes reflecting the particular brightness of the stars. Hour and ½ hr strike with pull repeater in trunk. The unusual oval dial has silvered chapter ring and matted center to the dial plate. Silvered nameplate marked "Thomas Moore of Ipswich" with matching steel hands. Between XI and I is the astrological calendar and dial. Christmas day is marked with an X. The cut out sections of the dial, in addition to being decorative, enable you to see which stars and constellations are about to rise and set. The clock is housed in a mahogany case with ebony inlay and cross-banding, Corinthian columns with heavy brass capitals and bases, and key escutcheon. The hood’s doorknob is fitted with ivory. Thomas Moore has nearly seven column inches, as much or more than many of the World’s famous makers in the standard book on antique clocks, "Old Clocks and Their Makers" by Britten. With a career of sixty-nine years of clock making, his clocks and watches are in museums and famous collections such as the "Wetherfield".
