A Gilded Egyptian Revival Timepiece Desk Clock
About the Item
An Egyptian revival timepiece in a gilded and bronzed case. The four pillared eight day movement with a cylinder escapement is housed in a drum case, mounted behind a crisp white enamel dial with roman numerals and blued steel shape hands. The drum is raised on an engraved pedestal and surmounted by a bronzed bust of a pharaoh. Flanked by a pair of seated sphinx with bronzed wings and headdresses, and gilded bodies on a marble base.
Dating from the late 19th Century, this is a rare example of the Egyptian revival style, when the interest in all things Egyptian was re-ignited after the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869.

Grimaldi and Johnson, Strand, London. Miniature Bracket Timepiece
By Grimaldi & Johnson
Located in Amersham, GB
A very fine and rare miniature bracket timepiece made by one of Britain’s most revered horological partnerships. The eight day single fusee movement held by four turned pillars with anchor escapement, adjustable lenticular pendulum and hold fast, is of exceptional quality. Housed in an ebonised and glazed bell top bracket clock case of a design particularly associated with this firm, the silvered roman dial with subsidiary date dial in the break arch is signed and also on back plate.
This clock is in excellent original condition with a fully glazed back door and side panels with the U shaped carrying handle, a distinctive trademark of Grimalde and Johnson, standing on turned acorn feet.
William Johnston is first recorded in partnership with Peter Grimalde between 1810 and 1825, before setting out on his own, Grimalde & Johnston were celebrated precision chronometer makers, and are known for making this style of miniaturised bracket clock during this period in very limited numbers.
Examples of clocks by Grimalde and Johnson can be found in, “The Georgian Bracket Clock, 1714-1830” by Richard Barber and “English Bracket and Mantel Clocks” By Andrew Nicholls...
