American Clocks

104James Doull Tall Clock with Rocking Ship Automaton, Case Attributed to Thomas Seymour, Charlestown, Massachusetts, c. 1795, mahogany case with pierced fret top, inlaid plinths, and three brass finials, brass stop-fluted freestanding columns flanking the glazed hood door over the painted iron dial signed James Doull, Charlestown., floral spandrels, delicate heart-shaped hands and concave arch with rocking ship and a shore battlement both flying the American flag, banded inlaid rectangular waist flanked by brass stop-fluted quarter-columns, the figured mahogany veneered base with light banding and line inlays all on high ogee feet, brass eight-day time and hour strike movement with two period cast iron weights, ht. 92 in.

The present example with a high, angled ogee foot seems to be a variation of the form. The choice of figured mahogany veneer, bright banding, complicated inlays on the plinths and efficient use of lumber further point to the Seymour attribution.

The National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors Educational Symposium

Space is limited in the museum auditorium and at the Saturday-evening dinner hosted

by the prestigious Wilmington Country Club, so early signups are recommended.

Winterthur Museum, Library and Garden, 5101 Kennett Pike, Wilmington, Delaware

Sponsored in part by Skinner, Inc.

Clocks at Winterthur

Mahogany Longcase Clock by Peter Stretch,Philadelphia, 1735-1746, Winterthur Museum

OCTOBER 6–8, 2016This year’s NAWCC Ward Francillon Time Symposium will be

presented at the world-famous Winterthur Museum, Garden and

Library in Wilmington, Delaware. The public is invited.

Winterthur boasts a premier collection of 90,000 decorative and

fi ne arts objects made or used in America between 1640 and

1860. Its creator, Henry Francis du Pont (1880-1969), had a special

interest in clocks, and he acquired many fi ne examples. Since

his passing, more clocks have been added to the collection

which now numbers over 100. This conference will be the fi rst at

Winterthur to focus exclusively on its horological holdings, many

of which may be viewed during guided tours. Other clocks not

usually on display will be shown in a special exhibit.

The James Arthur Lecture, which opens each of these annual

events, will be presented by Professor Thomas Allen, author of the

2008 book, A Republic in Time. The concluding banquet speaker

will be Morrison Hecksher, Curator Emeritus of the American Wing,

Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Several more eminent speakers will describe Winterthur’s

important clocks and watches, highlighting their makers, regions,

craftsmanship, and cultural signifi cance. These scholars include

Robert C. Cheney, Philip Morris, Gary Sullivan, Frank Hohmann,

Jonathan Snellenburg, Richard Ketchen, Jeffrey Lock, Ronald

Hoppes, Elizabeth Mallin, Richard Newman, Philip Poniz, David

Wood, and Philip Zimmerman. Current and emeritus Winterthur

Museum curators also will offer presentations. These are Charles

Hummel, Donald Fennimore, Ann Wagner, Joshua Lane, and Lisa

Minardi. Winterthur conservator Mark Anderson will describe his

work on an important 18th century Peter Stretch longcase clock

acquired by the museum in 2004. Attendees will be welcomed by

Winterthur Executive Director David Roselle.
