The Leplastrier (Le Plastrier) family of clockmakers were active in the City, East London and Kent during the first half of the nineteenth century. With its Chancery Lane address, the signature on this clock refers to one of its members who is recorded as working circa 1840 (B. Loomes, Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World, London, 2006, p. 478).
