Description

An iconic Regency period BRACKET CLOCK by the makers Finer and Nowland, of High Holborn, London.

The rosewood case has good brass spandrels around the dial; a pineapple finial to the top and 'fish scale' panels to each side. The movement is an 8-day twin fusee, striking hours (repeating at will by use of the pull cord) on a bell. It has a superb high-precision pendulum, with secure travel screw. A good painted dial with signature, diamond shaped 5-minute markers around the chapter ring; roman numerals and its original gilded hands. The case is supported on brass ball feet. Signed to both the dial and also engraved into the backplate. Comes complete with both keys.

According to Loomes (p.266) Thomas Finer who traded on his own between 1788-1800 later became a partner in Finer & Nowland. The partnership of Finer & Nowland was known to work from High Holborn in London between 1805 and 1839.
