Rare Pollard Oak Bracket Clock by Payne & Co of London

19th century
Description

A very unusual and high quality bracket/table clock by this well known Clockmaker.

The 8 day duration double fusee movement of high quality design and with anchor escapement, signed to the backplate by the maker and striking the hours on a substantial gong. The backplate also fitted with a pendulum transportation facility. The silvered brass rectangular shaped dial signed by the maker with Roman Chapters and matching blued steel hands. The dial also with extremely finely engraved scrollwork foliage and flowers.

The high quality and unusually shaped case is veneered with pollard oak. This is very rarely used on bracket/table clocks of any period. The incredible burrs and colour of the veneer really makes for an impressive statement. The case is also further mounted with high quality gilt brass scrolls and fretwork. The sides of the case are both glazed as is the door to the front which also features a silvered brass surround. The rear door is also glazed Both locks are in working order.

Note: William Payne is first recorded at 62, South Moulton Street, London in 1816. By 1825 he had moved to 163, New Bond Street where the company remained until the early 1920's.

William Payne was an Exhibitor at the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London. We have had several high quality examples of his work over the years. There appears to be some sort of connection between Payne and a famous Clockmaker by the name of Vulliamy as their high degree of quality and style are rather similar.

This Victorian bracket clock stands on a flat base with four low block feet and employs a warm brown pollard oak veneer displaying pronounced burrs across the case and drawer front. The architectural wooden body incorporates a pediment top filled with red fabric behind an open gilt scrollwork frieze, flanked below by an engraved silvered brass rectangular dial bearing Roman numerals, winding holes, and matching blued steel hands. Further decorative details include gilt brass corner mounts, carved gilt scroll appliques flanking the lower drawer, and decorative scrollwork cast into the brass drawer pull. The glazed front door opens to reveal a silvered brass surround, while glass panels inset into the side walls expose the internal movement. The table clock stands 45 cm tall and measures 30 cm wide by 20 cm deep. Such a timepiece suits a mantelpiece, sideboard, or desk in a gentleman's library, study, or living room.

FAQs

Originating in the late seventeenth century, bracket clocks were compact, portable timepieces designed to run on a spring mechanism rather than long weights. Historically paired with a matching wall bracket, these clocks evolved into prestige items for display on mantelpieces, tables, and sideboards.

Victorian cabinetmakers favoured distinctive hardwoods such as pollard oak, mahogany, and walnut veneers. Movements were housed within wooden cases accented with cast brass mounts, decorative spandrels, and silvered or painted dial plates.

Authentic period examples often feature an engraved makers signature and location on the dial plate or backplate. Additional indicators include hand-cut gear teeth, period-correct brass castings, authentic wood figure, and evidence of original winding arbors.

A timber bracket clock serves as a focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, library desk, or dining room sideboard. Pairing it with contemporary artwork or structured ceramics creates an engaging contrast between historical horology and modern aesthetics.

Keep the wooden case away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent the timber veneer from drying out or splitting. Dust the exterior gently with a dry microfiber cloth, and ensure the mechanical movement is serviced by a qualified horologist every five to seven years.
