Scottish Bracket Clock by Mitchell & Russell of Glasgow

19th century
Description

An unusual and high quality Lancet top bracket clock by these well known Scottish clockmakers.

The high quality 8 day duration double fusee movement strikes the hours on a bell and is signed to the painted dial Mitchell & Russell, Glasgow. The movement features 5 plate pillars, anchor escapement and strike/silent facility above number XII. The painted round dial has matching blued steel hands. The Lancet top case is veneered with superb flame mahogany to the front elevation and profusely inlaid with ebony throughout. Both sides feature lion head handles and brass silk lined sound frets of a gothic design. The bespoke made mahogany veneered wall bracket is complete with an access door to regulate the long pendulum.

Price: £6,250 / Height: 27" / C.1825

Note: Mitchell & Russell were working during the first half of the 19th century. Based on this particular clock and previous purchases it appear they used a very fine cabinet maker based somewhere in Glasgow. They were also a manufacturer of Church & Tower Clocks. Due to the longer pendulum this clock has always been on a wall bracket. We made the decision to reinstate the lost bracket using the cabinet work of the clock as a guide.

This Regency bracket clock is a tall lancet design with a pointed arch top, manufactured by Mitchell and Russell of Glasgow. The warm brown mahogany case displays rich flame figuring across the front elevation, accented by dark ebony string inlay tracing geometric panels and Gothic arches. A circular white dial sits behind a heavy brass bezel, featuring black Roman numerals, minute markers, and the maker inscriptions in script lettering. Two cast brass lion mask drop handles adorn the sides, positioned beside vertical glazed sound frets lined with cream fabric. The wooden structure stands on a stepped rectangular plinth base, rising to a height of 69 cm. Place this timepiece on a prominent mantelpiece, a library shelf, or a dedicated wall bracket within a traditional study or living space. The eight-day double fusee movement drives blued steel hands across the face, while brass winding arbors flank the central axis. The wood shows smooth polished surfaces with visible grain patterns throughout the front and side panels. Natural golden tones catch the light on the metallic bezel and side hardware, contrasting with the dark linear stringing. The clock functions as a striking timepiece and a decorative focal point for period interiors.

FAQs

A Regency bracket clock is a spring-driven table clock produced during the early nineteenth century, characterized by refined cabinetmaking, symmetrical architectural shapes such as lancet or gothic arches, brass inlay or mounts, and painted white dials with Roman numerals.

Scottish makers used flame mahogany veneers over oak or pine carcases, accentuating the wood with brass bezel surrounds, cast brass side handles, ebony stringing, and silk-lined side sound frets.

Authentic pieces display hand-painted dial signatures from prominent Scottish makers and towns, hand-cut dovetail joints inside the casing, heavy cast-brass fittings with age-appropriate patination, and mechanical fusee movements.

A mahogany bracket clock serves as a focal point when placed centrally on a living room mantelpiece, a hallway console table, or anchored alongside books on a deep library shelf.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent veneer warping. Dust the cabinet gently with a soft dry cloth and consult a professional horologist for movement cleaning and oiling every five to seven years.
