Description

This delightful, highly detailed Chinese influenced mahogany bracket clock has a good quality 8 day timepiece movement, solidly made in brass with a top escapement by Smiths.

The silvered dial is in excellent original condition. It is of a square arched design with a separate applied chapter ring engraved with black Roman numerals and minutes.

In the lower corners, the dial is decorated with deep hand engraved scroll work.

The case of this beautiful small clock is lovely. It is veneered in mahogany and decorated with hand painted, brightly coloured, raised lacquer panels with people, landscapes and birds all within hand painted gilt boarders which decorate the front top and sides.

The clock stands on four brass bun feet, and the pediment of the clock is finished with an ornate gilt brass beaded finial.

The clock is wound and regulated from the rear, accessed through a hinged door with a brass catch. The clock has its original steel key.

This fine timepiece is in good working order and was recently serviced by its previous owner, and on test keeps good time.

The beautiful case, in my opinion, is in very good condition but shows some age related wear and marks.

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

FAQs

Chinoiserie is a European decorative style originating in the 17th and 18th centuries that reflects Chinese artistic influences, typically featuring hand-painted motifs, figures, and lacquered finishes on furniture and timepieces.

Traditional bracket clocks are generally constructed using a solid timber frame, such as oak, mahogany, or pine, finished with multiple layers of lacquer, and often incorporate brass dials, bezels, and mechanical brass clock movements.

Authentic pieces are identified by examining the aging of the lacquer work, the hand-painted detailing, the type of joinery used in the wooden case, and the makers marks or mechanical signatures on the brass movement plates.

This type of clock serves as a strong decorative focal point and can be styled on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or bookshelf, pairing well with both traditional antique furnishings and transitional contemporary spaces.

Lacquered surfaces should be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and dusting should be performed regularly using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth without chemical polishes.
