Lewin Levin of London, a patriotic George III brass mounted mahogany repeating six tune musical bracket clock surmounted by five finials on a stepped caddy top, over side handles and a pierced brass sound frets to a shaped base on ornate scroll feet, the signed painted arched dial with Roman numerals and subsidiaries for chime/not chime and tune selection to include God Save The King; Rule Britannia; Roast Beef; Flowers of Edinburgh; London March and Waltz, the substantial chain fusee movement with anchor escapement playing on twelve bells, and repeat on a separate bell, with engraved backplate, 72cm high Lewin Levin worked in Aldersgate Street from 1799 to 1824. This particular type of musical clock with a choice of six tunes is sometimes referred to as a 'silent Sunday' clock, ie, the owner can choose a different tune each day from Monday to Saturday, but have a day of relative silence on Sunday. Overall fair to good condition. Case of good colour, just one small section of moulding loose but present. Ormolu mounts a little dull, some of the finials loose. Working key for both doors, back door warped out of shape. Dial is dirty, scuffed and scratched with a number of old repairs of varying quality. A small S has been inscribed at 9 o'clock on the silent/chime dial. Movement looks complete, runs but not checked for timekeeping. Does a shortish chime on the hour and a shorter one on the half hour. Repeat not working. Chimes on twelve bells. Hard to work out quite what is happening on the chiming. If selected it plays a tune and after strikes the hours (but twelve so out of sync?). Does not appear to go on to playing further tunes. Pendulum looks original. No winding key.
