A long-case eight-day clock finely decorated in marquetry, in date about 1690, is illustrated (p. 237). This exhibits the work of Knibb as being equal, as his employment at the Court shows, to the leading London makers of his day. In the chapter on Marquetry, p. 79, will be found a notice of this clock in regard to its relation to other styles of marquetry, and its place in the sequence there described. [Illustration: LONG-CASE EIGHT-DAY CLOCK. Decorated in marquetry. Maker, Joseph Knibb (Oxon). Date about 1690.] [Illustration: GEORGIAN SPANISH MAHOGANY LONG-CASE CLOCK. Hood enriched with fretwork in Chinese style of Chippendale. Terminals of carved mahogany. Maker, Cockey (Warminster). (_By courtesy of Messrs. D. Sherratt & Co., Chester._)] A fine bracket clock by Joseph Knibb, in date about 1690, is illustrated (p. 181). This is of the same period as the long-case clock, the year when William of Orange defeated James II at the battle of the Boyne, and James, the last of the Stuarts, fled into France. It is possible that the fortunes of Joseph Knibb were bound up with Whitehall. At the Revolution in 1689 our Court clockmaker no doubt retreated into Oxfordshire to continue his creations which we now know. A cloud of unpaid debts must have hung over him, for the Stuarts were bad paymasters. =The West Country.=--In publishing lists of clockmakers collected by local antiquaries, a loyal service has been rendered to the West Country by the _Devon and Cornwall Notes and Queries_. The following list is based on the researches published in that journal by R. Pearse-Chope, Esq.,[4] and by H. Tapley-Soper, Esq.[5]
