Description

Clockwise is delighted to present for your consideration a fine example of a high quality George III mahogany single pad top antique bracket clock. Standing almost 16 inches tall, this increasingly rare example is in superb condition. The mahogany case has inset brass to the chamfered corners, a fully locking front door/panel and it stands on ogee brass bracket feet. It has relined sound frets to the sides, a glass rear door to highlight the excellent quality movement and retains its original brass carrying handle to the pad top.

The recently overhauled and cleaned eight day duration fusee rack-striking five pillar movement has an anchor recoil escapement and as such benefits from my three year guarantee. The full hours are struck on a beautiful sounding bell. The back plate is heavily engraved and signed with the makers name - Edward Bird, Bristol. The original London-style pendulum accompanies this handsome piece.

The fully restored dish dial, accompanied by original spade hands, and again with the maker's name notated to the dial finishes the appearance.

Clockwise specialises in longcase and bracket clocks and with clients from the world of business, film, sport, royalty and aristocracy - yet more than happy with traditional clients - Clockwise has an unrivalled reputation for excellence and superb service.

A George III bracket clock is a spring-driven English portable timepiece produced during the reign of King George III (17601820). These clocks were designed to sit either on a matching wall bracket or directly upon a table or mantelpiece, often featuring refined mahogany cases, brass fittings, and painted or silvered dials.

Georgian bracket clock cases were predominantly constructed from dark hardwoods, most notably figured mahogany, flame mahogany, or ebonised fruitwood. Decorative elements typically incorporated cast brass handles, brass bracket feet, flame finials, glass dials, and brass or silvered dial bezels.

Authentic eighteenth-century bracket clocks feature hand-cut brass gears, hand-engraved backplates, and original movement components such as fusee mechanisms. Dial inscriptions often list the clockmaker and location, whilst the wooden cases display natural age patina, historic joinery marks, and original brass hardware.

Positioning a mahogany bracket clock on a central fireplace mantelpiece or atop a mahogany sideboard provides an elegant focal point. Surrounding the timepiece with modern artwork, neutral stone ceramics, or brass accessories balances traditional horological craftsmanship with contemporary interior accents.

Maintain the mahogany case by dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the wood grain. Keep the timepiece away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent veneer movement, and ensure the mechanical movement is serviced by a qualified horologist every five to seven years.
