Walter Rutherford of Jedburgh
H.86" W.20" D.9.5"
A Scottish , mahogany longcase clock with an attractive painted dial . The hood , with turned mahogany columns and a swan neck pediment , the Panelled base has single plinth with small bracket feet . The Painted dial is in superb condition and has a painting in the arch of a young Queen Victoria with a cartouche of Lord Grey and holding a scrolled document with the heading ' Reform ' . This painted arch is (we think) dating the clock to circa 1845 , Lord Grey , Born 1764 , British prime minister 1830 -1834 died in 1845 . The Reform Act of 1832 ( The representation of the people ) and the abolishment of Slavery throughout the British Empire are what he and his party are remembered for . Jedburgh was not too far from Howick and the Church where Lord Grey was buried. Lord Grey was also the second Earl Grey for all the Tea lovers reading ! . The movement is fully serviced , of good quality and strikes the Hour on a bell and runs for a week on a single wind . Walter Rutherford of Jedburgh is Listed in Old Scottish Clockmakers by John Smith - working from 1836 .
