Specialist note

This style of case appears to be distinctive to Lambert. See T. Robinson, The Longcase Clock, Woodbridge, 1981, p. 109 for two similar examples by Lambert with cases in opposing marquetry (première-partie and contre-partie). These clocks also have similar dials with turbaned head spandrels.
