Footnotes
Thomas Eastland of London is listed as working for just seven years between 1744 and 1751. A green-lacquered table clock by him was sold in these rooms as part of the Derek and Valerie Roberts Collection, 14th December 2016, lot number 30 (sold for a hammer price of £15,000). The numerals on both chapter rings are undoubtedly by the same hand - in particular, the '5' and '2' numerals are highly individual.
