A Sheraton style cabinet typical of the work of
the Scottish clockmaker William Robb of
Montrose, circa. 1790.
Extensive use of chequered edgeline and corner inlays enhances the superb flame mahogany veneers of the
Gleneagle. The scroll pediment is decorated with wheat
motifs and crowned with a fine cast brass eagle. The
cabinet stands on splayed feet and features fluted
quarter columns to the trunk and “Corinthian” pillars to
the hood. The hood is removable to allow for movement
adjustment. The cabinet is hand rubbed and waxed to
achieve an “antique” patina.
The clock is illustrated featuring the hand painted dial “Wildlife in the Lake District”.
