A similarly proportioned George III brass-mounted ebonised table clock, but with a slightly smaller domed top and by Allam and Clements, sold anonymously, Christie's London, 20 February 2008, lot 96 (£36,500). Another clock of related design also by Allam and Clements, sold anonymously, Christie's London, 6 December 2006, lot 99 (£19,200).
William Allam is recorded working on Bond Street, London. He was a Freeman of the Clockmakers' Company from 1743-1785. As the bove two clocks show, he also made clocks in partnership with Clements.
