A grand George II cream and gilt  lacquer longcase clock with two train brass dial quarter chiming movement. The 12 inch break arch brass dial has an applied silvered Roman and Arabic chapter ring with bold fleur-de-lys half hour markers and a subsidiary seconds dial.

The domed hood above a molded arch supported on a pair of Doric columns flanking the clock face with four pillar twin-train escapement

The stunning cream and gilt chinoiserie-decorated case is in a remarkable state of preservation. The clock has a domed shaped hood, a raised panelled base with a double stepped plinth and a long moulded bridge top trunk door. The scenes depicted include exotic pagodas with figures in a rural setting, figures on horseback, musicians playing, and birds on branches.

While some English japanned longcase clocks from the early 18th century have survived, those with cream and yellow ground are particularly rare. A related example, with cartouche panels depicting chinoiserie scenes similar to this clock, is illustrated in H. Huth, Lacquer of the West, Chicago, 1971, fig. 74.

There is also a mahogany longcase clock of related form by Robert Mawley in the collection at Polesden Lacey, Surrey (NT 1246209).
