Object Description
A small and fine George III ebonised bell top bracket clock standing on brass moulded block feet and having four urn finials and a single facetted brass carrying handle to the bell top.
The 5-inch arched brass dial is mounted with a silvered chapter ring and subsidiary rings in the arch flanking a cartouche signed by the maker. Subsidiary rings are for Strike/Silent and rise and fall regulation. The centre is finely matted with a false pendulum aperture and an aperture to view the day of the month above VI.
The twin fusee movement has a spring suspended verge escapement and hour strike sounded on a bell with pull repeat on 6 bells. The back plate is exquisitely engraved with flowers and foliage.
Small table clocks of this quality are increasingly rare and hard to find.
