P A Oxley Antique Clocks & Barometers has dated this Pollard Oak Bracket Clock to the Regency era.
The double fusee movement strikes and repeats the hour on a single bell.
The case is veneered with the finest pollard oak and features a very stylised pediment, almost Egyptian style in design. The case sits on wooden block feet and to the sides there are very unusual glazed frets. The dial is accessed via a brass bezel with a convex glass.
C.1810
NOTE: Robert Pennington was an eminent maker and has a prominent place in history with regards to the making of a large number of Marine Timekeepers, as designed by the famous Thomas Mudge. He is also believed to be the inventor of the screw balance.
RESTORATON - Both the case and dial have recently been sympathetically restored in our workshops. Although currently in working order, the movement will require a full overhaul and service before delivery. It will then be guaranteed for 3 years
