Fabulous 8 day triple fusee English Bracket Clock in architectural style case.
The well figured mahogany case with brass and silk side frets, stepped base and squashed bun feet.
The silvered dial with engraved Roman chapter ring and spade hands, signed '' Charles Olds, Bath. '' c. 1836. The five pillar movement chiming the quarters and hours on a rack of 9 bells
The escapement having been converted from verge to deadbeat with maintaining power.
We have seen many verge clocks of this period that have been converted to the much more precise anchor escapement, but this one has gone one step further and been converted to the much more accurate deadbeat escapement with maintaining power and beautifully made beat adjust above the suspension spring.
This would have been a very expensive conversion.
The back plate finely engraved and signed '' Charles Kinkead, Strabane ''. Early 19th cent.
We think Charles Olds may have made the conver
...sion and then put his name on the front of the clock.
Fully overhauled and guaranteed for one year.
