This Victorian bracket clock is a nineteenth-century London piece dating from around 1850, constructed from warm brown mahogany with brass hardware and a white glazed circular dial displaying black Roman numerals. The timber cabinet displays carved foliate cresting beneath a central brass finial, side lion masks fitted with ringed carrying handles, and a rectangular brass frame panel on the lower front section, all raised on small brass ball feet. The dial bears the signature inscription Webster Cornhill London. The clock stands 31 cm high, with the depth and width dimensions not recorded. Suitable for placement on a mantelpiece or desk within a study or gentleman's library, this timepiece functions with an eight-day chain-driven single fusee movement and anchor escapement. The case includes an attached winding key to the side, along with matching keys for the rear access door and the glazed bezel protecting the face. The timber surfaces display natural grain variations and patination typical of its period, while the visible brass elements maintain their warm metallic finish.

FAQs

A fusee bracket clock is a spring-driven table clock that uses a cone-shaped pulley system, known as a fusee, to equalise the torque produced by the mainspring as it unwinds. Originating in the 17th century, these clocks were traditionally set upon a matching wall bracket or placed prominently on a mantelpiece.

These clocks are generally constructed with fine cabinet timbers, predominantly flame mahogany or walnut, surrounding a brass movement mechanism. Dials are usually painted iron, silvered brass, or enamelled, while decorative details frequently feature cast brass finials, feet, and bezels.

Authentic pieces feature heavy cast brass plates inside the movement, gut or chain fusee drives, and authentic maker inscriptions painted or engraved on the dial or backplate. Hand-carved timber detailing and original winding key squares with natural wear consistent with age further confirm authenticity.

A bracket clock serves as a focal point on a marble fireplace mantel, a library bookcase, or a mahogany sideboard. Its rich wood tones and classic proportions provide visual weight in both traditional and transitional interior schemes.

Keep the timber casing away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking or drying of the wood. Mechanical movements should be wound steadily with the correct size key and professionally serviced by a horologist every five to seven years.
