This William and Mary period table clock dates from the late 17th century and originates from England. Constructed with an ebony veneer over oak, it pairs a dark black wooden body with bright gold-toned ormolu and brass mounts, alongside red fabric behind the pierced sound frets. The square dial features a silvered chapter ring with Roman numerals, finely worked blued steel hands, a mock pendulum aperture, and a calendar aperture positioned at the six o'clock mark. Elaborate cast brass ornamentation includes cherub spandrels framing the dial, ornate scrolling foliage on the basket top, and urn-shaped finials with acanthus bases surrounding the top plate and handle. The entire case stands securely on small bun feet at the base. Measuring 35.5 cm high, 24.1 cm wide, and 16.5 cm deep, this clock functions as a practical timepiece suited for display on a mantelpiece or shelf within a study, library, or living room.

FAQs

A basket top table clock is a late 17th-century English portable timepiece characterised by a decorative repousse or pierced metal dome ornamenting the top of the timber case.

Craftsmen typically utilised ebony veneer over an oak carcass, combined with brass movements, silvered chapter rings, and gilt-brass cast mounts.

Authentic examples feature hand-gilded brass mounts, verge or early anchor escapements, hand-engraved backplates, and silvered brass chapter rings secured with cast corner spandrels.

Position the clock centrally on a timber sideboard, a stone fireplace mantelpiece, or within a library display cabinet alongside leather-bound volumes and brass accents.

Dust the wooden case using a dry soft microfibre cloth, avoid applying harsh chemical polishes to original gilding, and ensure the mechanical movement is serviced by a qualified horologist every five to seven years.
