Hornblower, London

David Creasey

William Hornblower, London. Early 18th Century. Longcase movement. New case made to house an early 18th century movement. The overall shape and size have been taken from period cases and it has been made in the traditional manner. The oak case has been veneered with thick cut veneers of walnut using pearl glue and all the fittings are made in the traditional style. The case has been bleached, stained, polished and even lightly distressed to blend in with the age of the movement.
