In 1693, during the reign of William and Mary, Peter Abbott of London built an elegant longcase clock standing just 6' 6" high. Because of the unreliability of the movements in those days a lenticle glass was incorporated in the trunk door so that the owner could see the swing of the pendulum.

Many earlier longcase clocks were covered with floral marquetry work, but this clockcase has matched burr and crowncut walnut veneers which enhance the beautiful lines.
