Mahogany Striking Bracket Clock with Alarm - Chater & Son - London

18th century
Description

An 8-day twin fusee striking movement consisting of five pillars, with original verge escapement striking the hours to a bell via a rack and snail striking system, with the alarm striking the same bell, which can be silenced. There is also a repeating function, and the back plate is beautifully engraved with floral swags and scrolling foliage.

The mahogany inverted bell top case is exquisite in style and construction. The four urn-shaped finials surmount the top of the case, topped with a carrying handle. The sides of the case are glazed with sound frets above, and the rear door is also glazed.

The 8" brass break arch dial with subsidiary strike/silent dial set within the break arch, consisting of Roman and Arabic numerals and cartouche signed 'Chater and Son London' above the calendar aperture sitting above VI and finished with the original finely cut blued steel hands, centred by a silvered alarm disc engraved with the hours 1 - 12 for setting against the tail of the hour hand.

Serviced and guaranteed for 3 years.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Bracket clocks are spring-driven portable timepieces developed in seventeenth-century England, designed to operate on a table, mantelpiece, or decorative wall bracket.

These timepieces were typically crafted using dense mahogany or fruitwood cases, housing brass spring-driven movements, cast brass spandrels, and silvered chapter rings.

Authentic period examples feature hand-engraved backplates, crown or anchor escapements, finely cast brass mounts, and maker signatures engraved onto the dial.

Positioning a wooden bracket clock on a contemporary sideboard, fireplace mantelpiece, or bookshelf creates visual contrast within traditional or eclectic schemes.

Keep the timber housing away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources, wind the mechanism regularly, and schedule professional horological maintenance every five to seven years.
