Clockwise has dated this Regency Mahogany Bracket Clock to the Regency era.
The clock is surmounted by a chamfer top with a gadroon finish adorned by a brass pineapple on a small plinth. The case edges are chamfered with brass inlay and the sides have original handles and lined brass frets. The whole case stands on matching ball feet.
The painted enamel dial is in superb condition signed by the maker 'George Harris, The Strand' and is complimented by original period moon hands. The original locking cast bezel finishes off the appearance gloriously and one key fits both working original locks
This clock has a twin fusee wire-driven eight day bell striking movement with five pillars, as befits superior movements of this period, and shaped shoulders to the movement. The rack strike movement strikes the full hours on a glorious bell with a pull/repeat working facility to the side and the more desirable London pendulum is present, as is the all important travel stop.
Dating from circa 1820, and just under 21 inches tall, this clock is in showroom condition and a truly lovely example of high-quality London Regency clock-making and the clock benefits from my three year guarantee.
George Harris was an English clockmaker who operated a business from The Strand in London during the Regency period. He is identified primarily through his elegant, high-quality domestic clocks crafted between 1800 and 1830.
