Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy (1780-1854) was the third generation in his family's clockmaking firm and became clockmaker to King George III and his son, the Prince Regent, later King George IV. He was Master of the Clockmakers' Company five times.
The functional design of this clock suggests it was intended for use in a fine office or boardroom. Vulliamy supplied clocks for many of the private London clubs and offices and also for government buildings. His clocks were always of the highest quality and some were dated and bore the Royal cipher.
For a wall clock of related design see Christie's London 4 July 2007, lot 143.
