Description

A remarkably small bracket clock by Webster of Queen Victoria Street, London. The ebonised dome-top case is finely crafted and adorned with beautiful gilt brass mounts to the front corners, elegant cast finial to the top, and attractive decoration bordering the plinth, sitting on cast brass bracket feet. Ornamental brass plates with a lovely peacock blue silk backing to the sound frets at the sides, and a nice design to the rear door, similarly fashioned with blue silk, as well as matching panels to the top. The dial plate is brass with a fine silvered chapter ring and hand-matted dial centre, signed "Webster, 5 Queen Victoria St. London N.17733", surrounded by floral gilt brass decorations with silvered strike-silent function to the arch, meaning the strike can be turned off at night! The 8-day twin fusee movement is in fully restored and in great condition, striking the hour and half hour on a mellow gong, complete with the original numbered winding key, which is particularly rare. William Webster founded the company in 1711 and ownership was passed down from father to son over the next two centuries, eventually to Richard Webster III, who moved the business to the new premises at 5 Queen Victoria Street in 1876. After the death of her husband in 1861, Queen Victoria famously wore black for the remainder of her life, and it became a very fashionable colour at the time, with many clocks made in this ebonised style. This clock would've been manufactured and retailed circa 1880, towards the end of the Victorian era. Dimensions listed are to the top of the finial.

FAQs

Bracket clocks originated in the 17th century in Britain, designed initially to sit on architectural wall brackets or table surfaces, featuring mechanical movements that were portable yet substantial.

Traditional bracket clocks typically feature ebonised wood or mahogany cases, brass or gilt-bronze mounts, silvered dials, and complex spring-driven mechanical movements.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-engraved backplate of the movement, the quality of the timber, original fire-gilt mounts, and maker signatures on the dial.

Positioning the clock on a prominent mantelpiece, bookshelf, or entrance console allows its classical proportions and metallic accents to contrast sharply with contemporary minimalism.

Mechanical clocks require professional servicing every few years to clean and oil the gear train, while the exterior wood and metal mounts should be dusted gently with a dry, soft cloth.
