An Unusual and High Quality Bracket Clock by Widenham of London.

19th century
Sold 8 May 2025 · P A Oxley Antique Clocks & Barometers
This “Unusual and High Quality Bracket Clock by Widenham of London” found a buyer.

It was listed by P A Oxley Antique Clocks & Barometers. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

An unusual mahogany veneered bracket by these well known and highly skilled Clockmakers.

Featuring an 8 day movement and a most unusual drum shaped case. The movement has also been shaped to match the case, an unusual feature to see.

This clock requires some minimal restoration to the case. The silvered brass dial is currently in an ‘as found’ condition with some lovely patina. This could re-silvered as required.

The movement is in working order but will require a full overhaul and service before delivery. It will then be guaranteed for 3 years.

Note: Richard Widenham was a very fine maker and noted particularly for his chronometers winning the Admiralty Premium Trials in 1824. He worked at 6 East Street, Clerkenwell between 1830-35 and afterwards at 15 Lombard Street.

He subsequently advertised as 'Watchmaker to the Hon. Board of Admiralty. It’s quite possible that this clock may have been made for perhaps an Officer in the Admiralty or indeed for the actual Admiralty offices in London.

A bracket clock is a portable spring-driven clock originally designed to sit on a wall bracket or a tabletop, originating in the 17th century in Britain as accurate domestic timekeepers for affluent households.

These clocks typically feature solid timber cases, often veneered in mahogany, burr walnut, or ebony, enclosing brass fusee movements with hand-engraved dial plates and delicate steel hands.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-painted or engraved dials signed by the maker, high-quality brass fusee or spring-driven movements with numbered components, and period-correct dovetail joints and timber oxidisation.

Place the timepiece prominently on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side table to serve as a focal point, pairing its rich wood tones with neutral backgrounds and contemporary minimalist decor to create a balanced contrast.

Keep the mechanism away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperature fluctuations, and have the movement professionally serviced and oiled every few years to maintain working order.
