A good mid 19th century carved mahogany floorstanding regulator showing centre seconds Signed Anderson, Elgin The drum shaped hood with intricate carved floral decoration centred by a rose, a shamrock and a thistle over a glazed trunk door framed by bold scrolls on a carved base, the heavy bezel secured via a pair of lift-off bayonet fittings, the 11 inch silvered dial now signed for Anderson of Elgin, with outer Arabic seconds track enclosing subsidiaries for Arabic minutes and Roman hours, each with a trefoil-tipped blued-steel hand, the movement with substantial plates united by four heavy pillars, with Harrison's maintaining power to a jewelled deadbeat escapement, with wooden-rod pendulum and large lenticular bob, driven by a small brass-clad weight. 1.86m (6ft 1in) high. (Puller) Footnotes: In common with other 19th century regulators, evidence to the rear of the dial indicates that Anderson was not the first maker/retailer of this clock. An Anderson (no first name) is listed as working in Elgin in 1861. This clock probably served in another clock or watchmakers workshop, or perhaps a retail jewellers as a time standard for the other timekeepers on the bench or for sale.
