Description:

In 1693, during the reign of William and Mary, Peter Abbott of London built an elegant longcase clock standing just 6' 6'' high. Because of the unreliability of the movements in those days a lenticle glass was incorporated in the trunk door so that the owner could see the swing of the pendulum.

Many earlier longcase clocks were covered with florid marquetry work, but this clockcase has matched burr and crowncut walnut veneers which enhance the beautiful lines.

A fully detailed construction plan will enable you to build a virtual replica of Peter Abbott's masterpiece. The precision built brass movement and dial specified may be obtained from the address in the schedule of operations.

If so desired, the case may be built in either solid wood or 12mm plywood.
