Dial in good condtion, rings would benefit from cleaning. Movement in good condition and running at time of cataloguing although it may benefit from a clean, appears to retain the original wheelwork throughout. Case has old minor racks to the veneers, small piece of moulding lacking from top left of cresting, old repairs to left side moulding, otherwise generally good. No winder or case keys.

Daniel Delander, an important maker, was born circa 1678 and apprenticed in 1692 to Charles Halstead but later transferred to Thomas Tompion. He was freed in 1699 but continued his association with Tompion's workshop, probably as a journeyman, until 1714. He died in 1733.
