18th Century Grandfather Clock by William Lassell of Liverpool

Dating to circa 1760, this clock was made by William Lassell and has the attractive smaller proportions of the earlier Lancashire clocks which were influenced by London craftsmen. Based in the Toxteth Park area of Liverpool, William learned his skills from his father, Thurston, who died in 1758. For sale from the collection of Andrew Hall, this piece will bring quality to any home.

Clocks in this attractive Lancashire style are relatively difficult to find, having been made for a relatively short period of time. A unique feature of this piece are the blue painted glass panels in the top of the hood displaying simulated frets; these were popular in Lancashire and not found elsewhere. This pleasing timepiece has a glorious patina to the mahogany case, with a beautifully engraved dial which has ringed winding holes. It has an 8-day movement and strikes the hour on a bell.

Dating to circa 1760, it has a mahogany case and originates from Northern England.
