Daniel Delander was apprenticed to Thomas Thompion in 1692. Delander is recorded as working firstly in Essex Street, then Devereux Court, from where in 1714 he moved to a house between the two gates of Inner Temple. He died in 1733. A fine maker.
The clock is in good condition. The case ebonising has been refreshed in the past. The quarter repeating work is now lost. The movement is running. The verge escapement is a reinstatement. The base has a cut out for the previous longer pendulum when likely footed with an anchor escapement.
