Description

This is a very original 'full opening door' round dial table clock.

The substantial eight day duration, five knopped pillar, double fusee movement with attached pendulum verge escapement and rack striking the hours on a rear mounted, high quality bell. The plain backplate also has a pendulum hook.

Behind a 7” diameter bowed painted iron dial with original base paint, outer Arabic fives, minute track and inner, Roman hour numerals. The centre bearing the name “GEO”(RGE) “COOPER. LONDON” also having paired steel pierced hands and behind a Sheraton style cast brass bezel with bowed glass fixed to the door.

Contained in an ebonised, break-arch case with a cast brass, swinging carrying handle to the top. Also, upper all-round returned moulding over the carcass and the full-size opening front door with lock has the brass bezel mounted over shaped sound apertures with gold coloured cloth backing the brass fishscale frets. The door sides have brass rod beading. The case sides have arched top sound apertures with conforming cloth backed fishscale frets and the rear of the case has a break-arch locking and glazed door. The carcass sits upon a short, all-round plinth with moulded top and in turn, is mounted upon four cast brass splayed Ogee feet.

Dimensions: 15" high (with the handle down x 11 1/2" wide x 7 1/2" deep at the feet.

Condition: The movement is in full working order and though appears to have been well maintained, would benefit from an overhaul. The dial is fair and original but with restorable chipping to the base paint. The case is very good, recently restored and with both locks present and with the original single key.

Price: The price is for the clock in it's present and working condition. A price and timescale for any work required, such as an overhaul and dial restoration, by the purchaser can be advised upon enquiry.

FAQs

A Georgian bracket clock is a portable spring-driven clock produced during the Georgian era, traditionally designed to sit on a bracket or table, often featuring high-grade movements and fine wooden cases.

These clocks typically feature cases made from oak or pine carcasing veneered in mahogany, ebony, or ebonised wood, complemented by brass dials, bezels, carrying handles, and fretwork sound frets.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-engraved backplate of the movement, the type of escapement such as verge or anchor, the ageing of the dial, and the construction methods used in the wooden case.

Place the clock on a prominent surface such as a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or sideboard where its classical proportions and contrasting metal details can serve as a sophisticated focal point.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, and high humidity, and have the mechanical movement professionally serviced every few years to ensure proper functioning.
