About the Item

Bracket Clock London wood, brass around 1800 Dimensions: H x W x D: 46 x 27 x 17 cm Description: English bracket clock in an ebonised "bell-top" wooden case with a carrying handle attached to the top. The typical box-shaped case is glazed on all sides and thus provides a clear view of the solid brass movement. Equipped with a spring balancer via steel strings and fusee, the movement runs for just over a week when fully wound. The rate is regulated by means of a verge escapement and the short pendulum on the back. A bell is struck on the hour. The silver-plated dial in the shape of an arch has Roman hour and Arabic minute markings. The blued steel hands ensure that the time is easy to read against the light-coloured background. The striking mechanism can be switched off using the lever located in the arched segment. The clockmaker's signature is engraved with impressive finesse: J.Johnson London. Although the engravings are covered with black shellac, the fineness of the engravings means that the finest curves can only be recognised on closer inspection. Condition: Refurbished, very good condition. Flawless in function. Please refer to the following literature: Brian Loomes - Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World p. 425
