A related clock-case pattern, of hollow-sided altar or lyre-scrolled form, is shown in the 1800 Estimate Sketch Book of Gillows of London and Lancaster (L. Boynton, Gillow Furniture Designs 1760-1800, Royston, 1995, fig. 299).
An almost identical clock, but with a different finial, the dial signed 'Davis London', is illustrated in Norman Adams, Catalogue, 2001, pl. 15
