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.

FAQs

George III bracket clocks typically feature architectural wooden cases made of mahogany, often with bell-top designs, brass carrying handles, and ornate gilt-metal mounts.

These clocks are constructed primarily from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods, featuring brass dials, gilt-bronze mounts, and steel or brass internal mechanisms.

Authenticity is evaluated through the construction techniques of the wooden case, the hand-engraving quality on the brass dial, and the presence of period-appropriate mechanical movements such as verge or anchor escapements.

Such pieces serve as sculptural focal points and pair well with traditional or transitional decor, placed prominently on a sturdy surface where the mechanical details can be appreciated.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, and moisture. Professional mechanical servicing every few years ensures the longevity of the movement.
