Clockwise Antique Clocks

ELM GRANDMOTHER CLOCK
by John Millard of Tewkesbury

A beautiful George III country Grandmother in a rare elm case, the locking trunk door and plinth showing the fine grain. The hood has a flat top with moulded cornice, the door has integral turned pillars & gilded caps. The 10” square dial has a silvered chapter ring with Roman numerals and quarter and half hour markings for the blue steel single hand. The maker Millard - Tewkesbury is under the VI. The birdcage 30 hour movement has iron corner pillars. There is an anchor escapement and count-wheel strike sounding the hours on a sonorous bell. John Millard is recorded as a clock and watch maker working in Tewkesbury circa 1771. Very few elm cases were made and even fewer have survived over two centuries. The clock is 195 cms high which qualifies it as a Grandmother.
