Daniel Rose, Reading<\/h1>\n

Daniel Rose was born in 1749 and died in 1827.\u00a0 He was an active clock and watchmaker.\u00a0\u00a0 Rose was related to several other Reading craftsmen through the marriage of his two sisters: Catherina was married to Daniel Oyster, and Barbara was married to Rev Theobald Faber.\u00a0\u00a0 George Faber was the son of Barbara\u00a0and Theobold and apprenticed to Daniel Rose.\u00a0\u00a0 The example currently offered is housed in a bold Walnut Chippendale case that is closely related to clock #27 in Machmer’s “Berks County Tall – Case Clocks 1750 – 1850”<\/em> page 65.\u00a0\u00a0 Notable features include: exposed dovetails at the edge of the face board,\u00a0bold scroll moldings with dentil carving together with dentils carved in the side moldings that continue only a portion of the way on the sides.\u00a0\u00a0 The shaped waist door is attached to the case with early cast brass “strap hinges” and flanked by fluted quarter columns.\u00a0 The eight day brass striking movement is coupled to an English painted iron dial from the Ashwin & Co. foundry.\u00a0\u00a0 Ashwin & Co.\u00a0had an outlet in Philadelphia for their dials and this early example found in a clock by Rose\u00a0predates the local dial manufacturers in Reading.\u00a0\u00a0 The works appear at first to be a “normal” brass eight day striking movement.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Upon further inspection it becomes very clear that they are in fact\u00a0 they are a very unique example that beats faster than 1 second (3600 per hour) and with a corresponding shorter pendulum.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 While this configuration is quite normal in a Pennsylvania German wood plate or “wag-on-the-wall” clock, it is rarely found in an eight day brass tall clock.\u00a0\u00a0 Reading area master clockmaker John Huyett overhauled this movement for me and commented that this is only the third example of this construction that he has seen in his career.\u00a0\u00a0 Also note the compass engraving on the face of the early bob and\u00a0the turned wooden pulleys.<\/p>\n

This clock was discovered by Ed LaFond who acquired it for Chris Bailey (Bristol Museum).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When Mr. Bailey retired and moved to Florida he began the process of downsizing his collection and this clock was sold to\u00a0a gentleman from New Hampshire who was\u00a0originally from Pennsylvania and an\u00a0avid collector of Pennsylvania tall case clocks. \u00a0 Two years ago we acquired\u00a0this clock along with the entire collection of\u00a0Early American Clocks\u00a0from this\u00a0gentleman.\u00a0 This clock stands at 99 ” tall. It has been refinished and the feet are appropriate bench made restorations.\u00a0\u00a0 The movement has been serviced and the weights & pendulum are original.<\/p>\n
