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 inverted bell top case is stunning in its style and construction and uses the finest flame mahogany veneers. The gilded mounts are of excellent quality, and five urn-shaped finials surmount the top of the case. The sides of the case are glazed with carrying handles above. The rear door is also glazed.

The 6 ¾" brass break arch dial with subsidiary strike/silent dial set within the break arch, consisting of Roman and Arabic numerals and cartouche below XII signed ‘John Taylor London’, calendar aperture 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.

MAHOGANY STRIKING BRACKET CLOCK WITH ALARM - JOHN TAYLOR - LONDON

Archive II

Archive III

A bracket clock is a compact spring-driven table clock originally developed in 17th-century England, named because it was designed to sit on a matching decorative wall bracket or mantelpiece.

Georgian bracket clocks typically feature solid or veneered mahogany cases, brass mechanical movements, cast brass spandrels, and silvered chapter rings on the clock face.

Authentic period examples feature hand-engraved dials, fusee movements, original cast gilt-brass mounts, and maker signatures engraved directly onto the dial or backplate.

Place the clock centrally on a fireplace mantelpiece, atop a console table, or within dark wood library shelving to introduce historical proportion and texture to contemporary spaces.

Position the timber casing away from direct sunlight and radiators, dust surfaces gently with a dry cloth, and have the mechanical movement cleaned and lubricated by a professional horologist every five years.
