A 19th century mahogany and brass-mounted table clock by Henry Pace, London The gothic-style case with trefoil top applied with crossed foliate boughs flanked by pinnacles set on cluster columns to a moulded base on brass block feet, the arched one-piece silvered dial with strike/silent subsidiary over a Roman chapter ring framed by engraved scrolls centred by a signature cartouche, the twin gut (now wire) fusee movement with stepped and shouldered plates united by five knopped pillars, with anchor escapement and rack strike on a bell, with trip repeat facility, the pendulum with facetted rod, the bell inscribed to the interior "Pace '39" "S.B.Gaze 1853" and others, second quarter 19th century, 27cm wide, 18cm deep, 41cm high. Provenance: Pace family collection Henry Pace (active 1830-1861) was Thomas Junior's eldest son and inherited the Whitechapel business on his death. In this clock, the gothic style is becoming more prominent as the century progresses, and it displays a particularly fine attention to detail in the finessing of the angled sight ring along the lowermost section - the ordinarily straight edge has been curved to accommodate the shape of the chapter ring.
