This Georgian bracket or table clock is made from warm brown flame mahogany with brass edging, a cast brass carrying handle, and ogee feet. The inverted bell top case contains a circular silvered brass dial with black Roman numerals, signed Webster London, protected by convex glass in a concave brass bezel, accompanied by blued steel hands and Gothic fretwork on the sides backed by red fabric. Richard Webster worked in London from 1787 to 1808. The clock measures 49 cm in height with the handle down, 29 cm in width, and 18 cm in depth. Positioned on a mantelpiece or desk in a study, library, or drawing room, this table clock provides a decorative timepiece for a traditional interior. The twin fusee mechanism strikes the hours on a bell, complemented by a pull cord repeating function and an engraved backplate visible through the glass rear door. The piece comes with its original winding key.

FAQs

A Georgian bracket clock is a portable spring-driven timepiece originating in 18th-century England, originally designed to sit on a matching wall bracket or table.

Cases were typically crafted from fine hardwoods such as flame mahogany or walnut, often incorporating cast brass handles, brass frets, and glass panels.

Authentic examples feature heavy cast movements, hand-engraved maker signatures on the dial or backplate, traditional fusee mechanisms, and hand-cut joinery in the case.

Position the clock as a focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard top, or within a traditional library bookshelf alongside leather-bound volumes.

Keep the timber case away from direct sunlight and heat sources, apply beeswax polish sparingly, and ensure the mechanical movement is serviced by a horologist every five years.
