Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

This Georgian bracket clock takes the form of an eighteenth-century timepiece enclosed in a warm brown mahogany and ormolu-mounted case. The tall bell-top structure carries decorative brass pinecone finials on the dome and corners, alongside classical architectural mouldings, fluted side pilasters, and cast brass carrying handles. The arched brass dial displays ornate spandrels, a silvered chapter ring with Roman and Arabic numerals, and an engraved signature panel reading Pennington, Drury Lane. Steel hands sweep the dial face above a calendar aperture. The woodwork exhibits a polished finish showcasing the dense grain of the timber, supported below by small bracket feet in bright brass. Standing at a substantial tabletop height of 45 cm, this clock functions as an ideal statement piece for display upon a mantelpiece, sideboard, or desk within a gentleman's library or study. It brings traditional horological craftsmanship and warm wooden tones to an interior space.

FAQs

A bell top bracket clock is a spring-driven table timepiece produced in Britain during the eighteenth century, named for the bell-shaped curved moulding on the top of its wooden case.

These clocks were typically constructed using flame mahogany or walnut veneers over oak carcasses, featuring cast brass spandrels, brass carrying handles, and silvered brass chapter rings on brass dials.

Authentic pieces feature hand-engraved maker signatures on the dial or backplate, cast brass corner spandrels, crown or anchor escapements, and hand-cut gears within solid brass movement plates.

A bracket clock functions well as a focal point placed centrally on a living room mantelpiece, atop a mahogany sideboard, or integrated into a library bookshelf setup.

Keep the timber case away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dust regularly with a clean lint-free cloth, and apply beeswax polish sparingly along the grain twice a year.
