About the Item

This is a very fine ebony veneered verge bracket clock by Martin, Royal exchange, London, circa 1780. Thomas Martin was one of a dynasty of fine clockmakers who can be traced back to 1668. Thomas himself was admitted to the clockmakers company in 1771 and died in 1811. The use of large enamel dials was very uncommon at this time as the ability to manufacture them was only developed in the middle of the 18th century. This style of clock was made popular by the famous maker John Ellicott. The double fusee 8 day duration movement retains its original verge escapement and has a beautifully engraved back plate depicting scrolls, foliage and a Chinese pagoda. It strikes the hours on a bell and has a pull repeat facility. The refined inverted bell top case has gilt brass edged doors and is surmounted by a carrying handle. The sides are glazed to allow the movement to be seen. Worthy of note are the original pierced hands. The 7 circular white enamel dial is very pleasing to the eye and is signed by the maker. It has a concentric sweep hand to show the date and the dial is i remarkable original condition with only some tiny hairline cracks around the edge which cannot be seen with the front door closed. The clock is in perfect working order having been expertly restored by Overton Clocks of Chesterfield. As can be seen from the images this clock is in excellent condition throughout and is ready to be displayed in the home. The restored ebonised case has a high shine and is in superb condition. It will delight the most discerning client. This is 18 1/2 inches tall the width is 11 1/2 inches and the depth 7. This is a genuine and original clock and I offer a full money back guarantee to this end.

Eureka Clock Company, London. Dial Clock

Located in Amersham, GB

A superb example of a Eureka wall clock made c1911. The electromagnetic movement is regulated by a large, slowly oscillating bi-metallic balance wheel, with the correct battery these clock will run for the duration of the battery life. Housed in a mahogany dial clock case with turned dial frame and brass bezel, the movement is visible through a cut out in the dial so the oscillation can be seen. The movement is numbered 5676 and stamped with the patent no 14614/1906 Made in England. The dial retains its original painted finish (cracked in places). This is the only model of wall clock Eureka made and is one of the rarer designs as they mostly concentrated on mantel clocks. The Eureka clock...
